Fearsome Dragons & Enormous Hearts

Like adults, children often live with fears, big and small. DRAGON IN MY POCKET tells the poignant story of Sebastian, a boy possessed with fears taking the form of dragons in his closet and all around him, even at school in the menacing shape of a bully. Through his Poland-born grandmother, Busia, who tells him the tale of a boy, a dragon, and the city of Krakow, Sebastian begins to learn the importance of the human heart while coming to terms with his own fears and cutting his dragons down to size, small enough even to fit in his pocket. DRAGON IN MY POCKET is a winning story, charmingly told and illustrated with a message meant not merely for children. James Conroyd Martin Author of PUSH NOT THE RIVER Push Not the River
