The Boy Who Dreamed Dragons
An enchanting picture book from former Waterstones Welsh Book of the Year author Caryl Lewis that focuses on a small boy with a big imagination and the dragons that occupy his mind.
Albie dreams dragons... Some jewel-bright and fierce, some softly-scaled and whispery, but whichever kind they are, they stay with him throughout the night and the next day too.
But the only trouble is that no one else can see Albie's dragons. Or can they? A very special picture book debut celebrating the imagination, with an emotional and reassuring message.
The Boy Who Dreamed Dragons, by award-winning Welsh writing talent, Caryl Lewis and illustrator Carmen Saldana, is perfect for any child who has felt different, whose imagination is big, and whose inner life is rich.
