Amy Wu e il Drago Patchwork

My kid usually loses interest halfway through storytime, but this one had her asking "what happens next?" on every page. The dragon's long, wingless body and stag-like horns gave us a lot to talk about, and the craft-time angle made her want to make her own dragon the next day.

The way this book weaves Chinese mythology into a school craft project is so clever—my kid kept asking questions about the long, wingless dragon and the eagle claws. It sparked a whole conversation about dragons in different cultures, which was a bonus I didn't expect. We're already looking for more

My daughter read this twice in one sitting — the part about Amy mixing stag horns with eagle claws really sparked her imagination, and the pages held up well after she dropped it in the bath. Such a sweet story about turning creative frustration into something magical.
