The Witcher fans can now introduce their kids to the fantasy franchise with the help of a new collection of comics for aspiring monster slayers of all ages. Published by Random House Worlds on May 13, The Little Witcher follows young Ciri as she learns how to be a witcher from Geralt, Yennefer, Vesemir, and others. The 80-page hardcover book features full-color illustrations and is available for $14.88 (was $16) at Amazon.

With Father’s Day coming up (June 15), The Little Witcher could make for a great gift for fans who read bedtime stories to their kids each night. That’s exactly the idea behind the book, as it contains bite-sized stories that trade the franchise’s mature dark fantasy themes for a lighthearted tone. The Little Witcher is about relationship between an adoptive father and his daughter. As Ciri is learning what it means to follow the Witcher Code, Geralt is learning how to be a dad.
You can check out a few sample pages from The Little Witcher below. Though there are monsters in The Little Witcher, the art style makes them look cute instead of scary, and tales of battle include humorous details like “monsters who fart when surprised.”
