Review Detail

STRONG attracts the eye with a book filled with dragons and then gives a poignant demonstration about finding your inner strengths. Maurice is different from other dragons and has a hard time fitting in. However, when there is a crisis, his unique differences are exactly what is needed to save the day.
I love the affirmative message that you do not have to conform to society's expectations to be worthy. I like that it celebrates being authentic and not shying away from things that bring you joy even if that sets you apart. This is a friendly title for any child who looks at the world and has not figured out what to do when they are not like who they see in the media.
The illustrations are well done and sure to make any fan of dragons happy. Overall, this book has a positive message and engaging illustrations.
