Why We Love It at Created for Culture

We love this book because it beautifully honors the richness of mixed identity through myth, art, and story. Dragons become more than legends—they’re symbols of heritage, love, and imagination. It’s a magical read-aloud that invites children to see the power of both sides of their culture.
