This dragon is stunningly drawn and I loved the ideas of the scales as hearts, including a heart on the tail, as the dragon spreads a message of peace and love. A young explorer runs in to dragon in the woods and although he is initially scared, the dragon convinces him to not be afraid. The explorer takes the dragon back to his village where the villagers immediately judge and fear him simply because he is a dragon. They are won over and see the error of judging based on appearances.

The book has a strong message and it admits that it is trying to teach a lesson of Peace and Love. I recommend picking it up and reading it aloud with the children age 8-9 and under in your life.
