When a young boy loses his mother, an invisible dragon swoops in
and perches on top of his head. A most unwelcome guest, the dragon
follows him to school, sleeps on his chest at night (making it hard
for him to breathe), and even crashes his birthday party. As the
boy comes to terms with his mother's death, however, his
relationship with the dragon changes in surprising ways. My Big,
Dumb, Invisible Dragon is a story for children dealing with loss,
particularly the death of a parent. Although grief is a heavy
topic, Angie Lucas and Birgitta Sif handle it deftly for children,
using the metaphor of the dragon, a light tone, and touches of
humor. The book shows that healing takes time and that it's OK to
experience a wide range of emotions as you process a really big
loss.
