In this sweet and brightly illustrated picture book, Amy Wu must craft a dragon unlike any other to share with her class<\/h3>

Amy loves craft time at school! But when her teacher asks everyone to make their own dragon, Amy feels stuck. Her first dragon has a long, wingless body, stag-like horns, and eagle claws, but her friends don't think it's a real<\/em> dragon. Then she makes dragons like theirs, but none of them feels quite right... None of them feels like hers<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

After school, a story from Grandma sparks new inspiration, and Amy rounds up her family to help her. Together, can they make Amy's perfect dragon?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Chua again brings plenty of colorful spirit with her cartoons, perfectly capturing Amy\u2019s fun, creative energy and surrounding her Chinese protagonist with a diverse school community. What is even more appealing is the courage Amy models to readers to stay true to oneself, especially when faced with a lack of role models.\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
