A charming and imaginative picture book from the Middle East about a boy and his imaginary friend.

Shushuya is a dragon, and

Shushuya is my friend.




He’s beautiful and very large

With scales from end to end.

My Dragon is the story of a little boy and his imaginary friend: a gentle dragon called Shushuya. The boy and dragon have one adventure after another: they garden together, fly through the clouds, and play hide and seek. At bedtime, we discover that the dragon is the boy’s stuffed animal.

Told in rhyme, with repetition of the dragon’s name (Shushuya) evoking ghazal poetry, this 30-page picture book from the Middle East is sure to delight and captivate young readers.
