Reminiscent of Pete the Cat and Llama Llama, Dragonboy begins a series about a curious, imaginative, playful little boy and his band of lovable stuffed animal friends.

“A charming journey of discovery, friendship, and acceptance.” —Kirkus Reviews


Dragonboy is curious. He is playful, pensive, and kind. More than anything, he is himself: an imaginative little boy who loves to be a dragon. His stuffed-animal friends—Darwin, Yellow Kitty, Simon, and Drako—are always by his side as he explores and discovers something new. Because the best part of an adventure is being with the ones who know you best.

The first in a new series, Dragonboy is the friend every child has been waiting for, a little boy full of empathy and joy who's ready to discover anything and everything our wonderful world has to offer.

What reviewers said

"The debut author-illustrator’s acrylic-on-wood-panel illustrations have a sweet-natured theatricality (the sea’s waves are pointy and layered, like a Victorian stage set) and conjure up a green and sunny world, where even a dark forest of twisty trees looks inviting and there’s all the time in the world to count the daisies."

"A charming journey of discovery, friendship, and acceptance."
Kirkus Reviews
A charmingly rendered costumed Dragonboy and his plushy pals journey to find adventure–and, ultimately, themselves.

“A charmingly rendered costumed Dragonboy and his plushy pals journey to find adventure—and, ultimately, themselves.”
Entertainment Weekly
"Lush acrylic paints on wood panels illustrate these adorable characters, and the rich vocabulary will stimulate discussion.... The group realizes that they may all sometimes feel sad or scared, but they all enjoy discovering new things. The underlying message: each of us is exactly as we are supposed to be."
