About Dragons Beware!

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the desire for independence or feeling like their potential is being underestimated by the adults in their life. It is the perfect choice for a spirited elementary-schooler who needs to see that bravery is not about a lack of fear, but about persistence and loyalty to those you love. Claudette is a refreshing protagonist who does not wait for permission to be a hero. In this high-energy graphic novel, Claudette sets out to slay a legendary dragon that once terrorized her father. Along with her brother and best friend, she navigates a world of monsters and magic while proving that even a small person can have a giant heart. The story balances slapstick humor with deeper themes of family legacy and the resilience required to chase a big dream. It is an empowering, age-appropriate adventure that celebrates the messy, determined nature of growing up.
