What is The princess and the dragon about?
In a kingdom where everyone expects a princess to be gentle and a dragon to be fierce, two unusual characters refuse to follow the rules. The princess roars, stomps and behaves like a dragon, while the dragon is polite, graceful and fond of acting like a princess. When they meet, their surprising similarities lead to a very unexpected exchange. With lively illustrations and plenty of humour, this playful fairy tale celebrates being yourself and challenges assumptions about how people should behave.
