A beautifully illustrated children’s book about a child born into two different cultures! 

Gondra’s father is an eastern dragon, while her mother is a western dragon, and throughout the book the three discuss the differences in culture and celebrate the different mix that presents itself in Gondra. 

It’s a wonderful story about celebrating who we are and our differences along with the things we have in common. 

Even though I doubt young children will consciously pick up on the message the story is engaging and the art is stunning.
