The Dragon

Norwegian title: Dragen

Lilli knows that there are dragons – This is why Eline can't come home with her: because the dragon lives in Lilli's house, and dragons breathe fire and are incredibly scary … and if Lilli isn't careful, she'll wake it up.

But is there a dragon tamer? Someone who can make the dragon nice?

Gro Dahle has previously published the book Angry Man about fathers who react with anger and scare children. In The Dragon, there is a mother who threatens and makes Lilli afraid. In this book, Dahle again works with Svein Nyhus, who is one of our greatest picture book illustrators.

Gro Dahle wisely and sensitively continues her work to address painful yet important childhood topics.
