For months, Mae and her parents have been traveling across the country in search of a magic flower. Mae’s mother is ill, and this rare flower is the only thing that can save her, but it grows in a secret place, guarded by dragons. Mae vows to herself that she will find the flower and save her mother. One night she wakes to a vision of light that beckons her to follow, but does she have the courage to face the dragons?
A new book by the talented author and illustrator Chen Jiang Hong, Dragon Flower is a strikingly illustrated story of bravery, compassion, and kindness that young readers will want to turn to again and again. A wonderful companion piece to Chen Jiang Hong’s The Tiger Prince, also published by NYRB.

"[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
