Description
Knights, dragons, and princesses are the things all good fairy tales are made of, but what happens when the tale has an LGBTQ ending?
- Follow Cedric on his journey from his days on a humble pumpkin farm to the adventures that lead him to become a full-fledged knight.
- Once he becomes a knight, he uses his cleverness and courage to vanquish a fire-breathing dragon and rescue a beautiful prince and princess.
- It is only then does Sir Cedric face his most difficult challenge.
- Will he follow his heart and prove that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is choose for yourself how your fairy tale ends?
An early elementary LGBTQ family-friendly book that shows according to the author "there is a bravery and beauty in being true to yourself. I believe it's important to show kids different forms of love in a positive light instead of just one. Alternatively, avoidance could potentially put kids at a disadvantage towards understanding and acceptance later on in life." Includes a message from the United Nations Human Rights Office.

nbsp;This is a sweet story of queer love and the constant presence of pumpkins adds some silliness to the text. I've read this with my Kindergartner and we both enjoy it a lot.--Raise Them Righteous
The artwork is so mesmerising: the colours are bold and bright, and very entertaining for a young child to pay attention to. There is little text in the book, which would be easy enough for a young child just learning to read to follow along if read aloud. There's also a gentle rhyme to the text that adds an extra dimension to the book, paired with a few humorous scenes.--The Book Corps
This is a fun, joyful rhyming story of a knight with a difference - and a big heart. There are twists and turns throughout that make this an enjoyable and humorous read. But there is also a strong clear message - to be who you are and to stand proud. Cedric shows he is the bravest knight of all by marrying the prince.--Picture Book Perfect
em> The Bravest Knight Who Ever Lived is a rhyming children's picturebook that re-imagines classic fairy tale tropes from an LGBT perspective. The story follows young Cedric's journey from pumpkin farmer to squire to knight. He ingeniously defies a fearsome dragon to rescue a prince and princess. The princess offers to wed Cedric, but his feelings are different! Cedric says, "There's someone else I love, and I believe we're meant to be. I'd like to wed the prince if he does feel the same for me." After the wedding and a happily-ever-after conclusion is a brief message from the United Nations Human Rights Office. The Bravest Knight Who Ever Lived is a tool that parents can read and share with children as a starting point to discuss LGBT social issues such as same-sex marriage.--Midwest Book Review, Children's Bookwatch
