New Deal: Knightly

Sarah Alpert at Algonquin Young Readers has acquired world rights to Knightly by Sara Holly Ackerman, illustrated by Mape, a picture book told in rhyming text about a rambunctious young knight who would rather keep jousting and run around the castle than tuck in and go to sleep. Publication is scheduled for 2025; Tricia Lawrence at Erin Murphy Literary Agency represented the author, and Vickie Savanella at Advocate Art represented the illustrator.
