Reviews

[Sandra Stiles · Rating 4 out of 5]

After hearing a story about dragons, a class of students create their own dragon.father takes his daughter on a dance through the garden. A dance created by the breeze. When the breeze stops it is nighttime and they go home.

[Matthew · Rating 4 out of 5]

This lyrical bedtime story is comforting and beautiful. The illustrations, soft watercolors, are gentle and soothing. This might the kind of book that a parent could read to a child just before they nod off to sleep. Nicely done.
