Trade Review“A gorgeous story about the love of one’s homeland and the courage it takes to emigrate”—Kirkus Reviews, STARRED; “Anita's courage as she flies off with the dragons to a new land will linger long after the final page”—Girls Read The World; “This beautifully tender narrative touches on all of the emotions that immigrants leaving their home countries may feel - the excitement and sorrow, the fear and courage”—Mai Storybook Library; “What a punch this book packs. Hannah Carmona’s lyrical narrative is paired with THE dreamiest artwork by Anna Cunha - I’m obsessed with the colour palette, and the gentle simplicity of her spreads is calming, yet full of energy”—The Little Literary Society
