Illustrated by
Udayana Lugo.
An encounter with a dragon serves as a thoughtful metaphor for the need to ask for help when something is wrong. Told in second person, the text encourages building a strong support network: “You have a lot of friends now, and you understand how to work together. Even if the dragon does return, you’ll never have to face it alone.” Not-too-scary illustrations use varied perspectives.
