The Truth About Dragons

The Truth About Dragons book cover.

Written by: Julie Leung.

Illustrated by: Hanna Cha.

An unforgettable lyrical picture book that celebrates biracial identity.

Lean in close,

my darling bao bei,

and I will whisper

a most precious secret

about a powerful magic

that lives inside you.

Brought to life with lavish and ornate illustrations, THE TRUTH ABOUT DRAGONS follows a young child on a journey guided by his mother’s bedtime storytelling. He quests into two very different forests, as his two grandmothers help him discover two different, but equally enchanting, truths about dragons.

Eastern and Western mythologies coexist and enrich each other in this warm celebration of mixed cultural identity. (From GoodReads.)
