This is a sweet story about a lady knight who falls in love with a princess. What I adore about this book is that it normalizes LGBTQ+ love and reminds us that queer stories aren't inherently "mature." LGBTQ+ children need these stories as well. The art is bright and lively and shows beautifully multicultural characters. Representation matters so much for children and I am so glad that this book exists. It is a great follow-up to Prince and Knight by Daniel Haack. Recommended By Rose H., Powells.com

I see him as a brother."
Her mother said, "Just go
And have a bit of fun.

but maybe you'll meet the one."
