Wei wants nothing more than to confront that stinky old dragon head on, but Mei favors a more thoughtful approach.

no matter where they go.
With grace and warmth, this lyrical picture book speaks to the difficulty of transition, and celebrates the ways in which love and family give us the strength to weather life's changes.
