About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate your child's capacity for deep, immersive play or when they need encouragement to collaborate with a sibling or friend. It speaks to the magical stage of development where the line between reality and fantasy is delightfully blurred, turning a simple backyard afternoon into a high-stakes interstellar mission. The story follows Drac and the Gremlin as they navigate a dangerous alien landscape to save a planet from a dragon. While the text describes a grand sci-fi adventure, the illustrations reveal the charming reality: two children playing with a garden hose, a pet cat, and a swing set. It is a brilliant tribute to creativity and teamwork that is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8, helping them see the extraordinary potential in their own everyday environments.
