The Dragonslayers

Reach for this book when your child feels like they don't quite fit the traditional mold or when they are struggling with the pressure of high expectations. It is a perfect choice for the 'underdog' who needs to see that bravery isn't about being the biggest or strongest person in the room, but about showing up for others even when you are afraid. The story follows an unlikely trio: a page who wants to be a knight, a squire who feels like a failure, and a princess who refuses to be a damsel in distress. Together, they must stop a dragon created by a witch's curse. Beyond the magic and humor, the book explores the burden of revenge and the power of forgiveness. It is a gentle, funny, and deeply human take on the classic fairy tale that empowers children to define success on their own terms.
