Milo the Knight
Milo the Knight
The empowering tale of a knight who emotionally sheds the only identity he’s ever known to discover his true self, from writer Grégoire Laforce and illustrator Charlotte Parent.
From the moment he was born, all Milo has ever known is knighthood. He eats, sleeps, and breathes it every moment of his life, never taking his armour off even for a minute. After all, Milo lives in the shadow of generation upon generation of knights before him and feels duty-bound to defend his colony should a dragon ever attack.
But while training one day, rain begins to fall and eventually turns Milo's armour to a pile of rust, leaving the young knight weakened and unable to move. It isn't until a chance encounter with a court jester, who helps him shed his armour and lay down his spear, that Milo has his first taste of freedom.
Milo the Knight invites readers on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, teaching that sometimes true strength lies in vulnerability and self-acceptance.
