The Evil Princess vs. the Brave Knight is a picture book series by Jennifer L. Holm about two siblings who channel their rivalry into imaginative play as a princess and a knight. The first book (2019) introduces the dynamic, and Take Turns (2020) continues the pair’s playful battles.
Holm, who is better known for her middle-grade novels like the Babymouse graphic novel series and the Newbery Honor winner Penny from Heaven, writes these picture books with her characteristic humor. The illustrations bring the siblings’ wild imaginations to life, showing the gap between their everyday squabbles and the epic battles they picture in their heads.
The second book, Take Turns, tackles the concept of sharing and cooperation through the same playful lens. Both books are short enough for a single bedtime reading and work well for children who are navigating sibling relationships of their own.
