By the author of Once Upon a Unicorn Horn, shortlisted for the 2020 Waterstones Children's Book Prize.
The second title in a new series about how magical creatures came to have their gifts. Do you know how dragons got their fire? It all began once upon a magic kingdom, when a fearsome, terrifying dragon stalked the land. He was so mean he ate kittens for breakfast, he was so scary he made children scream, and he was so evil that he blew huge storms out of his jaws, which is why it was always so cold.

      This enchanting picture book regales with the power of story as author-illustrator Blue follows Freya, a child with freckled light brown skin and blue-gray eyes, and Sylas, a pale-skinned kid with a dark blue topknot. Residents of a village in a magical kingdom, they “loved reading stories about the dragon out loud to each other”—despite rumors of how terrifying the dragon actually is. When a snowstorm threatens the village’s safety, the duo sets out to stop the dragon, whom they presume responsible. But when they reach the dragon’s mountaintop lair, the pair discovers a creature quite different from the narratives they’ve consumed. Blue presents sweeping cinematic scenes rendered in a friendly yet intricate style, highlighted by vibrant colors and expressive, dynamic characters amid gorgeously immersive fantastical landscapes. A creative origin fable offering a tender reminder to abstain from stereotyping and to extend care to others. Ages 4–7.
