A spellbinding author-illustrator debut about the anxiety and
excitement of a new experience, represented by a frightening first
day of school full of dragons that slowly transform into friends.
As a young girl cautiously approaches a castle full of soaring,
roaring dragons, she worries about their wildness and their
terribly sharp teeth. And indeed the dragons are hungry and noisy
and seem to be hovering closer and closer--until the girl notices
that some of them are wearing mismatched socks. After several more
curious encounters in which the girl spends time with each beast,
she discovers there's much more to her supposed enemies than she
realized. Because with every page turn, another dragon has
meticulously transformed into a child working through his or her
own overwhelming first day of school, just like the girl. This
remarkable debut by author-illustrator Jaime Zollars is inspired by
her daughter and encourages young readers to see beyond their fears
to the often surprising truths underneath...and to find their inner
dragons.
