"Dragons I Know"

Written by Eleanor Ryan,

Illustrated by Loreena M. Lee

28 pages of full color illustrations visually charm the reader when learning about recognition and acceptance of differences among us all. In this story-poem, a boy and his friend go to a park “where dragons are nice”, and watch dragons and unicorns at play. They identify with the dragons, who wear sneakers and play familiar games. Soon they discover a great cave where dragons and other creatures all go to school. The boys are made to feel welcome and everyone comes to understand that they will learn and in time, “…do very well.” The boy dreams of meeting the dragons again, but “…not after dark."

"Satin Shoes"

A debut novel for young readers.

"Written from the heart, Loreena M. Lee's Satin Shoes should delight nostalgic adults with its evocation of a time gone by, and intrigue younger readers with 12 year-old Leanne's efforts to adapt to her changing family situation, make new friends, and uncover the story of the spirit who inhabits her new home."
