One summer day a boy meets a dragon. They become instant friends and share incredible adventures together. When Boy is sad, Dragon cheers him up. When Boy is scared, Dragon makes him feel brave.

This deftly poignant story captures the lifelong friendship between a child and a beloved toy.

In The News
"[A] sweet, heartfelt tale about love transcending generations . . . Readers will love the idea that beautiful childhood memories last a lifetime." --Kirkus Reviews
"Slack’s calm, measured storytelling doesn’t overplay the pathos, and the relief when the box is finally opened, to reveal that the dragon will now belong to Boy’s daughter, should resonate." --Publishers Weekly
"In a sequence reminiscent of the Toy Story franchise, Boy goes off to college and packs Dragon away, and Dragon suffers through lonely years until he’s pulled out of the box, and he meets Girl. Slack’s digitally painted and collaged illustrations render the fantasy world perfectly in this poignant exploration of friendship."--Booklist
