About This Book
Reach for this book when your child begins to ask questions about their family history or expresses a sense of being caught between two different worlds. It is a lyrical guide for children navigating a multiracial or multicultural identity, using the enchanting lens of mythology to explain how two distinct heritages can live harmoniously within one person. The story follows a mother as she describes two different forests: one representing Western folklore with its fire-breathing, treasure-guarding dragons, and the other representing Eastern mythology with its celestial, water-dwelling protectors. It is a gentle and imaginative exploration of belonging that is perfectly suited for children ages 4 to 8. Parents will appreciate how it frames a complex topic through the universal language of magic and wonder, turning a potentially confusing identity journey into a heroic adventure of self-discovery.
