Critics Review
”[Dragon Flower] has all the paradoxical richness and simplicity of a fairy tale….Young readers will cheer for the doughty girl, who braves the razored depths to haul the baby dragon to safety in this satisfying, sumptuously illustrated fable.” — Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal
“Chen… combines feathered, watercolor-like landscapes and tightly drawn renderings of human and dragon characters across a gray and green landscape—which resolve into clear blue skies as both girl and monster save each other.” — Publishers Weekly
