How to Ride a Dragonfly

“A child takes readers along on an Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland–esque adventure….A beautiful and interesting flight of fancy.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Thin-lined watercolor and ink illustrations by Wilsdorf…. combine a Victorian floral sensibility with an action-packed arc, resulting in small-scale-focused visuals that are equal parts magical and impish.” —Publishers Weekly

“Soft watercolor and ink illustrations match the text’s fanciful tone; the engaging pond creatures bring liveliness to this magical world.” —The Horn Book
