(Kirkus starred review) "In springy rhymed verse, Eaddy captures her heroine's inventive vision as she explores costume options while her inanimate menagerie patiently looks on. She gives multiple options a whirl, sourcing domestic props: 'Or what about an elephant?/ I could be one of those.// With pillowcases for my ears,/ a sock could be my nose.' Rendered digitally, pictures by Fleming give the wide-eyed, ginger-haired protagonist ample personality and energy, and imbue her toy animals with a winsome homespun quality." (Publishers Weekly)

The magical story of how a boy with a disability who is bullied finds the hero within. As Drake gets ready for bed, his mother entertains his questions about tyrants, pirates, and dragons-which are really questions about the power of bullies. Their conversation reminds us all that "Not even kings are allowed to be mean." Targeted for young children and their caregivers, Sir Drake the Brave is a declaration of ethics, integrity and faith: that kindness and courage ultimately are stronger than any sort of small-minded bullying or hate. Fun and entertaining, the story teaches lessons of accepting others, and welcoming others, including those who are different.

Only a strand of hope pulsates through as she runs in the middle of the night through deepening murky waters, twisted vines and fallen trees to reach a fate she knows little about.
