The Wrong Knight

Reach for this book when your child is feeling the sting of a public mistake or struggling with the fear of being 'the clumsy one' in the group. It is an ideal choice for a child who feels they don't quite fit the mold of what is expected of them. The story follows a knight named Sir Lancelittle who constantly mixes things up, but eventually finds that his unique way of doing things is exactly what saves the day. This silly medieval tale uses humor to tackle big emotions like embarrassment and self-doubt. By placing these feelings in a fantastical setting with knights and dragons, it provides a safe distance for children to laugh at mistakes while building the resilience to try again. At 24 pages, it is a perfect confidence-builder for early readers who are transitioning into short chapter book formats.
