The Truth About Dragons

Julie Leung

$18.99

A Caldecott honor winner

Winner of the Asian Pacific American Award for Literature

An unforgettable lyrical picture book that celebrates biracial identity from the award-winning author of Paper son: The inspiring story of Tyrus Wong, immigrant and artist.

Lean in close, my darling bao bei, and I will whisper a most precious secret about a powerful magic that lives inside you.

Brought to life with lavish and ornate illustrations, The truth about dragons follows a young child on a journey guided by his mother’s bedtime storytelling. He quests into two very different forests, as his two grandmothers help him discover two different, but equally enchanting, truths about dragons.

Eastern and Western mythologies coexist and enrich each other in this warm celebration of mixed cultural identity.
