Praise for Milo the Knight

A sweet tale about overcoming fears that uniquely merges the insect and medieval worlds. Recommended for picture book collections.
School Library Journal

“Parent’s pastel-driven illustrations bring the story to vibrant life, treating Milo’s progression with sensitivity and care to reveal the true might of the boy under the armour. Her flourishing touches and compelling characters are eye-catching and engaging for even the youngest of readers.”
Montreal Review of Books

“Individual young readers will take pleasure in the humour of the book, and parents and teachers looking for a story about finding out how to embrace one’s selfhood and open up to new possibilities will enjoy Milo, the Knight.”
Canadian Review of Materials

:"The empowering tale of a knight who emotionally sheds the only identity he’s ever known to discover his true self."
The Canadian Children's Book Centre
