Chapter One

A child. A teddy. A world of wonder.

Every child has a knight inside.

The Littlest Knight turns first days, hard choices, stormy nights, and scraped knees into adventures worth remembering.

Through Sir Johnathan’s imagination, children learn that courage is not the absence of fear. It is taking one more step—with kindness, honesty, and the people who love you beside you.

“I can be afraid and still be brave.”
