The Sunflower Sword

by Mark Sperring · 2010

+ Want to read

In a land filled with fire and smoke and endless fighting, where knights fight dragons, there lives a little knight who wants to be big like the others, and fight like the others, and have a sword like the others. But his mother wont let him. Instead of a sword, she gives him a sunflower, which, as it turns out, can be mightier than a sword.
