Kibo and the Purple Dragon

By Carmen Gil and Marta Munté Vidal

Winner at the 2015 International Latino Book Awards. Kibo and the Purple Dragon is an entertaining, fun-loving tale that helps children face up to and overcome their fears.

One morning, a purple dragon flies in through Kibo’s window. Frightened, the little boy runs off to some truly extraordinary places, but when he returns home and looks in the mirror, the dragon is still there—and he’s right behind him! This time, though, he’s a little bigger and a little purpler than the last time Kibo saw him. Maybe if he keeps running away Kibo will be able to escape the dragon! But what if that doesn’t work? How will he finally defeat such a terrible monster?

When you see a dragon,

One thing is quite clear,

If you look them in the eye

They’ll run away in fear.
