Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not fit the mold of what is expected of them, whether it is a little girl who prefers climbing trees to tea parties or a boy who finds joy in gentle hobbies. This story subverts traditional fairy tale tropes by introducing a princess who would rather be a dragon and a dragon who wishes he were a princess. It is a playful yet profound look at the pressure of gender roles and the beauty of being true to oneself. Appropriate for children ages 4 to 8, the narrative uses humor and role-reversal to show that friendship is found when we stop pretending to be what others want and start being who we are. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's unique interests and provides a safe, whimsical space to discuss identity and self-confidence.
