Chicago Public Library Best of the Best List 2025
This graphic novel for young readers ages 5 to 7 updates the story of an ugly duckling becoming a beautiful swan--but the odd duck out is actually a dragon! It's the classic ugly duckling tale--but this time around, the little one turns out not to be a swan, but a dragon. And when their duckling siblings find themselves in trouble, it's our little fire-breathing friend who saves the day. Whereas Hans Christian Andersen's original is synonymous with inner beauty, Frank Cammuso's loving update turns it into a parable of inner strength.Author Biography
