Description

** A heartfelt and uplifting picture book from an exciting new talent featuring special blended family relationships and fiery dragon magic **

Tom has an amazing secret – hidden under his bed is an egg. An egg that’s cracking, ready to hatch. An egg that contains . . . a dragon!

When Tina and her mum come to stay with Tom and his dad, Tina and Tom strike up an instant friendship. Tom shares his magical secret with Tina and soon the pair spend their days caring for their little dragon. They make her a bed from a shoebox lined with moss and leaves, feed her tasty morsels of sausages and pizza in special midnight feasts, climb trees together and give her lots and lots of cuddles. Soon she grows – and grows, and grows! And as they grow their dragon, Tina and Tom grow their own very special friendship too.

But then Tina’s mum decides it’s time for them to go back home. Tom and Tina’s friendship looks like it will have to come to an end.

Unless their dragon can keep them together. . .

House of Books and Friends is bringing back their 'Lunchtime Lecture' series, and are excited to welcome Professor John Byrne to discuss his book 'Useful Art: How Activist Artists Can Change the World.' The talk will begin at 1pm and last for 1 hour.
Tickets available via the link in our bio 🎟️
Does art have to be beautiful? What if it can be useful instead? In this cutting-edge book, John Byrne shows how the concept of 'Useful Art' is helping artists and communities fight back against the neoliberal takeover of our spaces, services and lives.
