Worries, fears, and anxieties are all dragons that sneak up on most of us at one time or another. Sometimes you need some help defeating your dragons.
Lots of people get dragons. Even really really good people get them. And sometimes they're hard to get rid of. So what can a young boy with a bad case of the dragons do? He can pretend they are not there, or that they are really quite harmless. Hugs from his mom help. Looking his dragon straight in the eye at least once every day helps even more. But most reassuring of all is the reminder that dragons don't stay forever. You've Got Dragons provides real, actionable advice on handling stress and provides good inspiration for conversation and creative coping.Author Biography
As the youngest of four children, Kathryn Cave spent her early years being willfully misunderstood and ignored by her brother and sisters. As a result, she developed a crew of imaginary friends--wolves, dragons, aardvarks, trolls--who did exactly what she wanted. After university, she worked in publishing for many years before she started writing her own books for children, which include Something Else, the 1997 recipient of the UNESCO Award. She died in 2021.
Nick Maland studied English and drama at London University and planned to be an actor. His early art career involved creating sets and posters for play, followed by a time creating artwork for newspapers and magazines. Today, he is the illustrator of numerous books for children and lives in England.
