What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A charmingly rendered costumed Dragonboy and his plushy pals journey to find adventure–and, ultimately, themselves.”–Entertainment Weekly
A Barnes & Noble Best Picture Book of 2021
A Wyoming Buckaroo Book Award Nominee
“A charming journey of discovery, friendship, and acceptance.”–Kirkus Reviews
“Lush acrylic paints on wood panels illustrate these adorable characters, and the rich vocabulary will stimulate discussion…. The group realizes that they may all sometimes feel sad or scared, but they all enjoy discovering new things. The underlying message: each of us is exactly as we are supposed to be.”–Booklist
“The debut author-illustrator’s acrylic-on-wood-panel illustrations have a sweet-natured theatricality (the sea’s waves are pointy and layered, like a Victorian stage set) and conjure up a green and sunny world, where even a dark forest of twisty trees looks inviting and there’s all the time in the world to count the daisies.”–Publishers Weekly
