Sometimes You Find a Dragon

Sometimes a dragon isn't just a dragon-sometimes it's a metaphor for creativity, in a free-spirited book inspiring kids to express themselves through words, art, and more.

What should you do when you find a dragon? The first thing is to notice it, then hold it, look, listen, and find out what it wants. For instance, you might discover that after every storm, dragons (some call them twigs) fly off the trees and fall to the ground, inviting you to give them eyes and wings. There's a dragon hiding in every paintbrush, too, while other dragons are made of words. Some live in musical instruments, or even inside upturned buckets. Have you ever danced a dragon? With a poetic text and airy, uplifting illustrations filled with movement and gesture, Vivian Schwarz encourages children to find their voice and give their creative spirit wing.
