About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling the weight of others' expectations or feels pressured to act tougher than they really are. It is a perfect choice for the gentle soul who prefers picking flowers to playing rough, or for any child navigating a social situation where they feel they have to perform a certain persona to fit in. Digory is a peaceful creature who is mistakenly labeled a fierce dragon slayer. Rather than fighting his way out of the predicament, he uses his quiet nature and honesty to resolve the conflict. This story beautifully validates that being quiet and observant is a strength, not a weakness. It is ideal for children aged 4 to 8 who are developing their sense of self-identity and learning how to set boundaries with peers and adults alike.
