Josh Funk is the author of the delicious modern classic Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast, and the delightful dinosaur/pirate mashup Pirasaurs!. His newest picture book, Dear Dragon, tells the story of two very different pen pals who discover that friendship transcends their differences. Josh was kind enough to share the story behind this inventive tale with The B&N Kids’ Blog.
Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale
A sweet and clever friendship story in rhyme, about looking past physical differences to appreciate the person (or dragon) underneath.
George and Blaise are pen pals, and they write letters to each other about everything: their pets, birthdays, favorite sports, and science fair projects. There’s just one thing that the two friends don’t know: George is a human, while Blaise is a dragon! What will happen when these pen pals finally meet face-to-face?
"When I was a kid, my best friend was Josh Funk. Now he's becoming a friend to a whole new generation.”B.J. Novak, author of The New York Times bestseller The Book With No Pictures
