"Finding 'no vacancy' at an overcrowded local school, a group of human children head to dragon school, instead—an adventurous-sounding conceit that belies a deeper takeaway about finding common ground. ... Chua’s spray-textured digital renderings play up Campbell’s jolly humor." —Publishers Weekly

"Valentine’s Day brings a shy child named Violet the chance to connect with her crush, Mira, in Sullivan Wild’s uplifting wintry tale ... a race through the snow—choreographically captured with dancelike grace in Chua’s simple, light-filled watercolors—brings the duo together at last, making the holiday one of joyful acceptance." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Attending a new school can be daunting, especially when you’re a human among dragons.

When a group of kids arrive at school, they find it’s bursting at the seams, with no room for new students anywhere! Luckily, the local dragon school has openings. There, they’ll perfect their fire-breathing skills, learn the meaning of various wing gestures, and nap on shining piles of gold. Understandably, these human kids are nervous. After all, they won’t be able to take to the skies alongside their scaly classmates. Will they find a way to fit in? It turns out that dragons have plenty they can learn from humans—like how to make s’mores and how to fashion a huge pillow fort out of all that gold. Bright and humorous, this quick read-aloud will make for a fun discussion starter for little ones enrolling at new schools of their own. The conversational narrative creates a welcoming tone matched by warm and whimsical jewel-toned illustrations filled with round shapes and lines. While the dragons breathe fire, they’re all a bit goofy and cuddly, not at all scary. The characters, dragon and human alike, are diverse in appearance and ability.

Fluffy fun for youngsters fretting about starting school.(Picture book. 4-7)
