The story is tender, engaging, and so relevant. Children will be inspired by The Little Blue Dragon's courageous journey, and how she found a wonderful new friend as well as her own voice along the way." Sarah Clark, Capacitar International Facilitator"A lovely story that addresses loss, with beautiful illustrations! I love the cast of characters, and the discussion questions and activities offered at the back of the book.
