Way cute. Plus the art is lovely - Stevie Lewis is great!
For a story about falling in love, this is pretty adorable.
It's sweet and caring, there are people of many colors, and cruelty to dragons is kept at a minimum.
This is a story in rhyme and the rhythm and rhyme isn't great so if that kind of thing bothers you, take a deep breath and remind yourself that kids eat rhymey things up and you'll be fine.

This was such a lovely children's book! The illustrations are lovely and the story is fantastic. I definitely teared up a little at the end. Thank you for writing about this! I'm sure all the little princes and knights out there will love it and feel less alone.
What a great book to start Pride Month off with.
An adorable book that got passed around our break room at the bookstore and made every person who read it squeal with delight.
While not everyone is going to thrill to Daniel Haack's Prince & Knight, it is every bit my particular cup of tea. I try to imagine what life might have been like if I'd experienced a book like this when I was growing up, that showed me greater possibilities in the pursuit of love than was encouraged or even allowed. What's really great about this book is that it is a story about a Prince, not a book that delivers a "you" message about being ok as you are - not that there's anything wrong with those. This book just tells a story, free of judgement, that might resonate with a child, or may for them simply be a fairy tale (no pun intended) complete with a dragon-slaying knight. For parents who might sense that their child is "singing a different tune", to quote the book, tucking this book into an armful from the library might be a key to unlocking that child's thoughts and feelings about attraction. This gentle story about finding true love, also includes the momentary adventure when Prince and Knight join forces to defeat a dragon, and is given a Disney-esque set of full page illustrations by Stevie Lewis that rival any cell from an animated feature film.
This story is cute. The meter is a bit forced in some of the rhymes, but it's still very cute. I'd have liked it better if the rhyming were more polished or if it was told without the rhymes. Nonetheless, a good book to add to a collection, particularly if you have lots of patrons who are fans of fairy tales and dragons and such.
