A beautiful story and a splendidly illustrated picture book for families!

Synopsis

WHEN DRAGONS FLY SOUTH FOR THE WINTER is a family friendly children’s book, with a sweet, relatable story. Fly away with a dragon family as they share fun times. Find out why and how they escape the wintertime brrs and grrs, like shoveling snow, too cold toes, and mittens that just don’t fit. Soar with them to their warm, sunny, secret spot and join them as they play in the sand and get wet, sing songs around the campfire, tell tales of brave deeds, (like escaping from amazingly big, giant fishes), and learn which snacks make them slurp and burp. Written in rhyme and filled with delightful illustrations.

Judy Sorrels' When Dragons Fly South for the Winter, a beautifully illustrated picture book, tells the story of why dragons fly south during the cold winters. Fly with this dragon family to warm weather and share fun family times with them. This story will interest anyone who loves mythology and children's literature! 

 

Sorrels, who is the writer and illustrator, uses rhyming schemes in her poetry to describe the life of dragons in such a charming manner, you will come to think of these fantastical creatures as beautiful animals that are just like us - you may even fall in love with them! This is really amazing work!

 

The drawings and colour scheme are so beautiful that it would be hard to convince anyone that this book is about dragons. Each dragon is so detailed and so splendidly illustrated that many will review these pictures several times over. Well done on the beautiful enchanting drawings!

 

In sum, this picture book will delight its readers many times over with it's beautiful poetry and the many detailed splendid drawings. If you are in the market for a fun family adventure story, then pick up a copy of this book at your local bookstore or online.
