Roni’s Next Book!
Coming in January 2025: from Astra Books for Young Readers, a division of Astra Publishing House:
A dragon story about dreams, imagination, and wishes…
After a day of bickering with her sister, might a magical journey on a dragon's back show a girl the path to peace and reconciliation? This rhythmically written, beautifully illustrated picture book is a celebration of imagination, of kindness, and of dragons.
Tired from sister squabbles, a dragon-loving child slips into sleep. Soon a dragon just the right size whirs through her window to invite her on a flight into the enchanting night. They soar to a Secret Gathering where dragons carrying children from all around the world fill the sky. There are dragons. There is dancing. There are wishes. And is that her sister over there? Could they share the same wish?
