The Truth About Dragons

The Truth About Dragons is a strong choice for readers looking for Asian American picture books and other diverse picture books shaped by identity, imagination. Julie Leung builds the story around a child of mixed heritage rethinks the stories he has inherited and finds space for more than one cultural truth. For readers seeking biracial identity stories, Asian American picture books, and diverse picture books that honor more than one inheritance at once, it is a standout choice. Especially good for repeat readings because the language stays readable while the emotional detail keeps opening up. Best for ages 4 to 8, with enough depth for conversation after the last page.
