Promised Land: An illustrated LGBT children's book

20 February 2017

If you don't see yourself in stories, you don't see yourself in the world - and the world's a much better place with you in it.

PROMISEDLAND_FRONTCOVER (1).jpgPromised Land is a new illustrated children’s book written by Adam Reynolds & Chaz Harris featuring 32 stunning full colour illustrations by Christine Luiten & Bo Moore sure to delight kids young and old.

The authors gained global media attention through successful Kickstarter campaign to cover the cost of illustrating and printing the first edition.

In Promised Land, a young Prince and a farm boy meet in the forest and their newfound friendship blossoms into love. However, when the Queen re-marries, her sinister new husband seeks control of the Enchanted Forest and the land the farm boy's family are responsible for protecting.

In a Kingdom where all are considered equal regardless of what they look like or who they love, Promised Land is a brand new fairytale about friendship, responsibility, adventure and love.
