About this ebook
Get ready to slay your dragons! Kathryn Cave’s classic yet timely picture book is empowering relief for young ones struggling with worry, fears, and anxiety.
“A great choice for the walking worried.” ―Booklist
“A wonderfully written story of empowerment to share with any child whether they have experienced loss, trauma or are just struggling with fears or worries of any kind.” ―Nicole Wilbur, MSW, LMSW, Co-Owner of the Self Esteem Shop, Medical and School Social Worker
Worries, fears, and anxieties are all dragons that sneak up on most of us at one time or another. Lots of people get dragons. And sometimes they’re hard to get rid of. So what can a young boy with a bad case of the dragons do?
He can pretend they are not there, or that they are really quite harmless. Hugs from his mom help. Looking his dragon straight in the eye at least once every day helps even more. But most reassuring of all is the reminder that dragons don’t stay forever.
You’ve Got Dragons provides real, actionable, kid-friendly advice on handling stress and is ideal for students exploring SEL themes. Get ready to tear down barriers to conversation and inspire creative coping.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book was too long and very boring. It showed it age, just not in illustration, and library wear, but in style of storytelling. I think this would have been better as a spoken story rather than a written one.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I’d highly recommend this book if you have ever had a problem, I mean, dragon. This delightful book is full of humor and gentle admonishions on how to handle these pesky pests. According to the book you should “Give your dragon your full attention at least once a day. Dragons get bigger when they are ignored.” Also it is best to “talk with someone else about your dragon. And remember to get plenty of hugs. Ask for one right now.” The book concludes with some “Ancient Dragon Wisdom.” I think I got just as much out of this book as my children.
