I was immediately struck by the illustrations in Sylvia and Bird by Catherine Rayner, and had to pick if up and read it as soon as I saw it. It really pulled at my heart-strings! It’s the story of a dragon named Sylvia. She is beautiful, and lives in a beautiful home, but she is the only dragon she knows of, possibly the only dragon in the world, and this makes her feel very lonely. One day she meets Bird, and they become best friends. They spend lots of time having fun together, but when Bird goes to “chit-chatter” with her bird friends, Sylvia is sad again. Bird wants to help Sylvia find other dragons, but they soon realize all they really need is each other. This is a sweet story about the power of friendship to cross boundaries, and overcome obstacles. See this book listed in our catalog
