"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 book is published in partnership with GLAAD to accelerate LGBTQ inclusivity and acceptance.

Awesome Picture Book
MCKENZIE R. - 6 years agoThis is a beautiful book. Let's be real, you know what is going to happen just by looking at the title and the cover art. If the subject matter is going to offend your delicate sensibilities, go find something else to read. Don't get mad because this book is what it is. I loved this book. The story is simple, but adorable. I enjoyed the rhyming used. I also liked the diversity in the illustrations. Princesses are shown with a variety of skin colors. Yes, they are all conventionally thin and have similar features, but you can't have everything. Both of the main characters appear to be white, but again, you can't have it all. The illustrations were very beautiful and I loved the story itself. Fantastic read. That whole dragon scene was just :) <3 :) <3 :) <3 #BannedBook

The most adorable queer fairy tale you've always wanted.
Maggie T. - 6 years 11 months agoThis book will warm your heart with the representation it brings to the world, specifically the LGBTQ+ community. The story is inspiring and a reminder to all that love is love and will find a way. Highly enjoyable and complete with beautiful artwork. I wish that I'd had this book as a kid.
