Synopsis

This is the story 
of Francesca the Dragon— 
her winsome journeys 
from familiar climes to foreign lands, 
from alienation to acceptance, 
from dejection to optimism, 
as recited by 
father to sleep-shirking son 
at bedtime request. 
Fourteen engaging illustrations 
narrated via timeless florid prose 
allow us to witness Francesca 
as she seeks a home 
befitting the truth of her 
heart's immensity. 
Raising a child can be daunting—especially if they sense ostracism. Sometimes things get better, and not just believing that but knowing it may foster sufficient intent to change their own narrative. This story illustrates that there can be a place in one’s life for mourning the past, the possibility that new horizons lie ahead and that one may eventually be accepted and appreciated as-is. 
~ On uncommon words (as this story has several) 
Remarkably receptive to context clues, children grasp far more than we realize. That said, make an adventure of noting any unfamiliar and/or interesting words in advance of exploring a dictionary and thesaurus together.
