Sail Away Dragon (Girl and Dragon Books #3)
by Barbara Joosse (Author) Randy Cecil (Illustrator)
Strange, wonderful sights await Girl and Dragon as the inseparable friends journey far across the sea in a third warmhearted and beautifully illustrated tale. Dragon and Girl are the very best of friends, and they share the very same dream: to sail to the farthest far-away. So they set out to sea, Girl sailing on Dragon's back. For a year and a day the two friends search up, down, and around for the faraway place, meeting creatures along the way: dolphins, whales, and even some snarly, sword-wielding pirates. And when Girl and Dragon finally reach the farthest far-away, they still share a heart and the very same dream -- home.
Randy Cecil's muted, dreamy artwork and Barbara Joosse's softly poetic words cast a comforting spell over imaginative explorers, leaving them safe with the knowledge that however far you go, there is nothing quite like coming home again with someone you love.

Review quotes
—Kirkus Reviews Cecil's stylized oil paintings illustrate the text through distinctive line drawings, muted colors, and dense textures, creating a distinctive world for the intrepid Girl and Dragon. A cat and an owl with a small guitar share a little boat, adding a touch of Edward Lear to this charming, fanciful picture book.
