Bookroo's summary

Amy Wu faces a creative challenge: crafting a dragon for school that truly represents her. Her first attempt is unique but not accepted by her friends. Inspired by a story from Grandma, Amy enlists her family's help to create a dragon that feels just right. Will Amy's new creation capture her spirit and imagination?

From the publisher

In this sweet and brightly illustrated picture book, Amy Wu must craft a dragon unlike any other to share with her class at school in this unforgettable follow-up to Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao. Amy loves craft time at school. But when her teacher asks everyone to make their own dragon, Amy feels stuck. Her first dragon has a long, wingless body, stag-like horns, and eagle claws, but her friends don’t think it’s a real dragon. Then she makes dragons like theirs, but none of them feels quite right…None of them feels like hers. After school, a story from Grandma sparks new inspiration, and Amy rounds up her family to help her. Together, can they make Amy’s perfect dragon?
