Description
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!
Emiline has been developed to be easier to read for children with dyslexia, including a dyslexia-friendly font and low-contrast art.

Loved this! Being dyslexic myself I thought I would check this out. I wish books like this had been around when I was growing up! It was delightful, sweet and had a wonderful message. It highlighted a problem some dyslexics face without bogging down the story so it could just as easily be enjoyed by any child. Along with this the artwork was adorable, the character and stead designs so cute!
Where do I sign up to become a knight?!
Felix G, Reviewer
Oh my gosh, this was so heartwarming! Now I need a physical copy to hug all night long. So sweet!
This is the story of Emiline, a child training to become a knight who has a hard time reading. While she’s brave and smart, she struggles when she must read books and magical words.
The book is a really uplifting story about overcoming challenges and never giving up. The best part: the book has been designed to be easier to read for children with dislexia!
As a school counselor, I highly recommend this book. I think there are a lot of children out there who really need to read something like this.
