A kind little dragon learns that she can bring beauty and joy into the world simply by finding the bravery to be herself in this beautiful picture book. Shy and timid, Maud shares a cave with a bunch of noisy, bullying night dragons, but doesn’t dare fly out in the evening like they do to bring the night. Until one day she finds she has to, and everything changes. Flying out on her gorgeous multi-coloured wings Maud fills the whole sky with brilliant hues of purple, gold and crimson. The story of Maud and her little companion Mouse will inspire children who will love this story of friendship and courage, and Naomi Howarth’s watercolour illustrations are simply breathtaking.
Naomi Howarth is back with another beautiful and inspiring picture book sure to become an instant favourite for children everywhere. Follow the heartwarming story of Maud the dragon and discover how she finds the courage to be different. "I wish I could fly, and breathe fire, and fill the sky with great grey, sooty clouds," Maud said to her friend, Mouse. Maud is picked on by the other dragons, so stays cooped up in her cave, sad and lonely. But when the chance comes, will her friend Mouse help her pluck up the courage to fly? A touching and beautiful picture book about individuality and friendship from Naomi Howarth, whose first book The Crow's Tale was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. The perfect bedtime read for parents and children everywhere that will help readers young and old learn that being a little bit different is a wonderful thing.
