Description
"I wish I could fly, and breathe fire, and fill the sky with great grey, sooty clouds," Maud said to her friend, Mouse.
Maud is picked on by the other dragons, so stays cooped up in her cave, sad and lonely. But when the chance comes, will her friend Mouse help her pluck up the courage to fly?
A touching and beautiful picture book about individuality and friendship from Naomi Howarth, whose first book The Crow's Tale was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize.
The perfect bedtime read for parents and children everywhere that will help readers young and old learn that being a little bit different is a wonderful thing.
