Our annual 10-day Halloween Costume Countdown continues for day 2 with mini Queen Elizabeth II! As this Mighty Girl's mother wrote: "Her Majesty herself and her two best friends Jack and Rascal."

If you're looking for a fun and empowering costume for your Mighty Girl (or yourself), our 2022 Halloween Costume Guide features hundreds of options for all ages, infant through adult, on a variety of themes at https://www.amightygirl.com/halloween

To share Queen Elizabeth's inspiring life story with children, we recommend the new picture book "Queen Elizabeth II: A Little Golden Book Biography" for ages 4 to 8 (https://www.amightygirl.com/queen-elizabeth-ii-golden-book) and the illustrated biography "Who Is Queen Elizabeth II?" for ages 8 to 12 (https://www.amightygirl.com/who-is-qeii)

For books for adult readers, we recommend "Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch" (https://amzn.to/3d2YDjF), "Queen of Our Times: The Life of Queen Elizabeth II" (https://amzn.to/3x8PJrE), "Elizabeth II: A Queen for Our Time" (https://amzn.to/3RxAnoK), and "The Platinum Queen: Over 75 Speeches Given by Britain's Longest-Reigning Monarch" (https://amzn.to/3cXSVjc)
