A book about a prince and a farm boy who fall in love was released today.
Promised Land is a project by two New Zealand friends, Chaz Harris and Adam Reynolds, that raised nearly 50,000 NZD (about $36,000) on Kickstarter to produce the book.
“A lot of kids today don’t have a problem with it. It’s really just if their parents tell them ‘Two boys can love two boys, two girls can love two girls’,” Reynolds told 1NewsNow.
The story is about a prince and a farm boy who fall in love in a magical forest. The prince’s evil stepfather wants to take control of the forest and the farm boy’s land. The authors say there’s even a “cute animal sidekick.”
