Smoke, fire, dragons, wisdom, fear, and bravery...All of these elements
are brought to life by award-winning author and artist Demi in a story
of valor in the face of overwhelming fear.
With splashes of color and dramatic detail, a boy named Ping decorates
his home with paintings of dragons. While they seem to be a proclamation
of his love for dragons, they are actually an expression of his deepest
fear. The Heavenly Dragon visits Ping after being impressed with the
boy's outward declaration of love and respect for dragons and presents
the boy with three pearls of wisdom. With bold and expansive
illustrations that sweep across the pages, Demi's triumphant tale proves
that the greatest fear of fear itself is one that can be conquered with
truth and bravery.
