Jet Black and the Ebony Knights by E.C. Ezirim
What does the stereotypical fairy tale princess look like? That instant image is exactly what the author of a new children’s book hopes to change. In his debut book, author E.C. Ezirim brings young readers on an adventure with Princess Jet-Black and the heroic Ebony Knights. As the knights embark on an epic journey to save the kingdom, rescue the princess and prevent a war, the book aims to open children’s eyes to new definitions of heroes and happy endings. Highlighting the black fairy tale princess, Jet Black and the Ebony Knights also introduces children to the overall message that the least among us can still be a hero. Addressing the overall non-existence of “happily ever after,” Ezirim hopes the book will be not only entertaining for children, but enlightening for all.

Jet Black is the princess heroine in this fantasy, adventure story. Four “knights” (a thief, a locksmith, a kayaker and a carpenter) come to her aid after she is captured and imprisoned. African American girls will be drawn to an adventure story with a black princess. It doesn’t seem to me that our society has enough princess of different ethnic groups. Its about time! We need more Jet Blacks!
With many assorted names for places, people, and objects this book is best suited for upper elementary or junior high students.
Purchase Jet Black & the Ebony Knights at Amazon.
