Reach for this book when your child feels weighed down by the need to be perfect or is struggling with the rigid social hierarchies of school and family. Winter Turning follows a young dragon named Winter who has been raised to believe his worth is tied entirely to his rank and cold, aristocratic lineage. As he embarks on a quest to find his missing brother, he must unlearn the prejudices he was taught and decide what kind of person he wants to be regardless of his family's expectations. This graphic novel is a powerful tool for discussing identity, the courage it takes to change one's mind, and how to choose friends who value your true self. While it features dragon combat, the core is a deeply relatable journey of self-discovery for middle-grade readers, specifically those aged 8 to 12. It is an excellent choice for kids who feel like they do not fit the mold their community has designed for them.
