"Victorious . . . the premier queer-friendly fairy tale." Kirkus Reviews, starred review "An illuminating fairy tale for young readers to be able to see that not every prince would like to marry a princess." School Library Journal "A colorful and entertaining tale exploring sexuality, acceptance, and young love." Booklist In this modern fairy tale, a noble prince and a brave knight come together to defeat a terrible monster and in the process find true love in a most unexpected place. "Thank you," he told his parents. "I appreciate that you tried, but I'm looking for something special in a partner by my side." Once upon a time, in a kingdom far from here, there was a prince in line to take the throne, so his parents set out to find him a kind and worthy bride. The three of them traveled the land far and wide, but the prince didn't quite find what he was looking for in the princesses they met. While they were away, a terrible dragon threatened their land, and all the soldiers fled. The prince rushed back to save his kingdom from the perilous beast and was met by a brave knight in a suit of brightly shining armor. Together they fought the dragon and discovered that special something the prince was looking for all along.

This non traditional fairytale was so traditional that for a second I found myself wondering if the knight would turn out to be female when they took off their helmet (and also if I recognized the king from an old Disney film or just the art style). I‘d also like to see us moving away from stories where our children “have to” get married. #BBRCPictureBookLetterP @LibrarianRyan

LibrarianRyan I agree about the half to get married thing but think I have this sitting in my TBR pile at home. 2y
IndoorDame @LibrarianRyan I‘ll be interested to hear what you think 2y

Bought this for my niece who is turning 3 soon and had to have a read. It was super cute! Yes, some of the rhyming was a bit awkward but it's still great

“Prince & Knight” written by Daniel Haack and illustrated by Stevie Lewis

ALA Rainbow List Top Ten

The classic fairy tale of princes and princesses is told with a twist when the heroes of the story end up falling in love.

TL. S/DR. #ucflae3414sp21

ToddSalerno The LGBT theme of this fairy tale tells a story of acceptance and queer diversity through a simple story line for young readers. (UDL 8.3-Foster Community) This can help build a compassionate classroom community. Group activities highlighted here encourage positive class discussion (ESOL 3- Encourage self-talk, positive thinking).

KeanaE I want to read this so bad!!! I love that you included a lesson plan from our diverse families bookshelves! Go Knights! 3y
DrSpalding I love that you used the STARS database as your resource! This is so cool! 3y
AlexRobinson Are you KIDDING ME WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND WHY IS THIS BOOK NOT EVERYWHERE?? What an AMAZING book and I WILL be buying! Not only is it amazing for the reasons you listed, but this is also incredibly beneficial to open up discusses about students who might have LGBTQ+ parents, as I know I‘ve had that circumstance and finding books that discuss a thing that needs to be normalized like this can be difficult. Wow wow WOW thanks for sharing! 3y

I didn‘t make time this year to read an adult banned book during banned book week, but I did read this gem of a banned book. I enjoyed this simple fairytale story with an LGBTQ twist. #bannedbooks 🏳️‍🌈

Read this earlier in year as part of my Challenge to read anything on the @AmericanLibraryAssociation Top 10 Challenged List for 2019 that I hadn't read.
I just adored it. 🥰

A mild pick, mainly for topic. The inconsistent rhyming bothered me. I liked that they worked as a team to defeat the dragon. It‘s a cute and charming (a la Prince Charming 😉) story.

LibrarianRyan 👍 😁 5y

Mild pick, exclusively for theme. Such a cute concept, but the rhyming isn‘t well done. I love the twist on the fairy tale trope, it just could have been executed better.

M.V This illustration makes me happy 5y

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS ADORABLE BOOK
I bought if for my daughter, in the hopes of adding more inclusive books in her library. Little did I know I would fall in love with this book. The illustrations are beautiful, the story is cute, and honestly quite different from the typical fairytale/royalty stories for children. And I just LOVE this book. Great read for adults AND children. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
