What is When a Dragon Isn't Well about?

Little Dragon wakes up feeling poorly, with an achy body and itchy spots. She wants to play, but being ill makes everything difficult. Will she stamp, shout and throw her toys, or can she settle down and rest? With help from her family, Little Dragon learns that it is all right to feel cross when you are unwell—and that quiet time, kindness and patience can help her feel better. A gentle, funny rhyming story about sickness, self-care and managing big feelings.
