Long Goes to Dragon School
by Helen H Wu (Author) Mae Besom (Illustrator)
Wrapped in Eastern and Western dragon lore, this fantasy tale celebrates perseverance, cultural inclusion, and self-discovery.
It's the first day of Dragon School, where all the young dragons must learn how to harness their fire-breathing skills. Today's lesson? Using it to cook food! All the dragons are excited to test their powers . . . except Long. Long is from the East and can only breathe out water. No matter how hard he huffs and puffs, he isn't sure he can match his fire-breathing classmates. But will his talents be discovered? Or will Long find his own unique path to cooking-and to fitting in?
From Tofu Takes Time author Helen H. Wu and New York Times bestselling illustrator Mae Besom (What Do You Do With An Idea?) comes a gorgeously illustrated and stirring tale around self-discovery.
