What is The dragons' day out about?

Frankie and Zuzu Dragon live with their family far from town, where people scream and run whenever they see a dragon. But the young dragons are curious about the world beyond their home and long to spread their wings. Then a surprise visitor arrives, giving the Dragon family a difficult choice. Should they stay hidden, or be brave and welcome someone new? With kindness, courage and a little dragon-sized adventure, their day could change everything.
