Bookroo's summary

Phoenix, ever patient, tries to care for a sneezy, stubborn Dragon who refuses to rest. As Dragon battles a relentless cold, Phoenix's gentle persistence is tested. When Phoenix falls ill too, both creatures must learn the importance of taking a break. Will they finally embrace the healing power of friendship and rest? This charming tale explores the humor and warmth in helping others and appreciating differences.

From the publisher

Patient, peaceful Phoenix tries to take care of rambunctious and cold-ridden Dragon, which leads to hilarious and sweet results (with vibrant illustrations by the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of Beekle). Everyone knows that dragons are fierce, capable of taking on the world! But this dragon can’t stop sneezing long enough to get a roar out. Even with friendly Phoenix insisting that Dragon get some rest, this powerful creature refuses to stop for any orange ginger tea or a drop of bone broth soup. It’s only when Dragon realizes Phoenix has caught the same cold that they are both able to take the break they so badly need. This tale of helping your friends and valuing differences is a sure-thing for story time.
