Overview

Long ago, in the ancient Kingdom of Burgundy, there lived a real princess named Saint Clotilde. She was beautiful, kind, and deeply devoted to God. More than riches or royal power, Clotilde dreamed of spending her life serving Christ in prayer and humility. But God had a different plan for her life-one that would change history forever. When Clotilde is commanded by her father to marry the pagan king Clovis I, her heart is filled with uncertainty. Clovis is a mighty warrior and ruler of the Franks, but he does not believe in the one true God. Faced with a future she did not choose, Clotilde remembers the faithful ""yes"" of the Virgin Mary and courageously entrusts herself to God's will. As queen, Clotilde lives her faith with gentleness, patience, and unwavering love. Through sorrow, loss, prayer, and perseverance, she slowly softens the heart of her husband. When war threatens the kingdom and defeat seems certain, Clotilde teaches Clovis that true strength does not come from pride or power, but from trusting and obeying God. Filled with castles, battles, royal courts, and moments of deep faith, The Princess Who Said Yes: Saint Clotilde and the Eldest Daughter of the Church is a beautifully illustrated children's retelling of the true story of the queen whose obedience helped bring Christianity to the Frankish kingdom and helped shape France, later known as the ""Eldest Daughter of the Church."" Rendered in a warm, classic animation-inspired style, this timeless story introduces young readers to a real princess and saint whose quiet courage changed a nation. Perfect for families who love stories of faith, virtue, knights, queens, and the lives of the saints, this inspiring tale reminds children that even one faithful heart can help change the world.
