Queen Nanny: Freedom Warrior

By Mrs Onika Clarke-Gordon

How does a hero begin?

Before she became a queen...
Before she led a people...
She was a girl who listened.

Queen Nanny: Freedom Warrior - The Girl Who Learned to Listen introduces young readers to the early life of Jamaica's National Hero, Queen Nanny, through a powerful and child-friendly story that shows how leadership can begin quietly.

This beautifully written book follows Nanny from childhood-listening to elders, learning from the forest, and observing the land-to adulthood, where those same skills helped her protect others, build hidden villages, and use the mountains as a shield against danger.

Designed especially for children, this book blends:

A gentle historical story for young readers

A true history section with dates and facts

A timeline strip for easy understanding

A glossary of key terms

Reflection and comprehension questions for both the story and the real history

Perfect for:

Black History Month

Caribbean studies

Jamaican heritage learning

Classrooms, libraries, and home reading

This book reminds children that heroes are not always loud-and that listening, wisdom, and courage can shape history.
