About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child feels too small to be a hero or is struggling with self-doubt. Sir Ladybug tells the story of Pell, a gentle ladybug who is proclaimed a champion knight by his two best friends, a snail and a roly-poly. Together, they embark on a grand quest to save a caterpillar from a 'monster'. But when the monster turns out to be a hungry chickadee, Pell must use his cleverness and kindness, not a sword, to save the day. This charming graphic novel explores themes of bravery, friendship, and finding your own kind of strength. It's a perfect, funny introduction to quests and heroism for young readers, showing that you don’t have to be big and strong to make a big difference.

What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

A chickadee is depicted as a 'monster' to the bug characters, but the scenes are humorous and not scary.

Sensitive Topics

The book gently explores identity by playing with traditional gender roles and expectations of heroism (a male 'Sir Ladybug' who is gentle, not aggressive). The approach is entirely metaphorical and humorous. The resolution is hopeful and affirms that there are many ways to be brave.
