Penny the Blue Pawn: An Illustrated Chess Story

ChessOff topic
Order from your local independent bookstore!

Hi Lichess Family!

We just published an illustrated children's book for kids - Penny the Blue Pawn. It's about a pawn who is bullied and rejected from the piece factory that only accepts "perfect" white or black pieces. She finds her inner confidence with the support of friends - including a sympathetic king and queen, a chipped rook, and a happy knight who looks like a zebra instead of a horse.

Penny the Blue Pawn journeys toward a colorful land where all chess pieces are accepted for who they are. Penny's story is written in rhyming verse for a fun read for all chess lovers in your family.

Order a copy from your local, brick-and-mortar, independent bookstore, or if you cannot, it is also available online in the usual places!
