Emiline: Knight in Training by Kimberli Johnson

I have always firmly believed there can never be enough children’s books featuring girl knights.

From Onipress.com: A charming children’s story about learning to read, told as a beautiful watercolor graphic novel! Emiline is learning how to be a knight. There are many skills that knights need: sword fighting, unicorn riding, and PB&J eating! While Emiline is very good at these, she has a hard time reading. But when fixing a dangerous situation means Emiline must read some magic words, she discovers that with practice, curiosity, and help from her friends, she can improve at reading and save the day!

Mermin Series by Joey Weiser

Absolutely love a story about anything to do with mermaids. This art style is too cute!

From Onipress.com: The first book in Joey Weiser’s Eisner Award-nominated series is now in paperback! Mermin is just your average Merman from the underwater kingdom of Mer, and all he wants is to have fun adventures on land with his new human friends. But with the whole ocean out looking for him, it’s going to be harder than he thought!
