Dragon Folding Book Launch and Storytime

From the author Christopher Cheng of the stunning Bear and Rat comes a powerful, heartfelt gem about the strength of community and the magic that can come from the innocence of a child, 'Dragon Folding'. With Stunning illustrations by Luica Masciullo

In a fractured old house with a wiggly sign lived a bent old man, alone.

But it wasn’t always this way...
