Billy Bixbee discovers a tiny dragon in his room, but his mother insists dragons aren't real. As the dragon grows larger than their house, Billy must confront the truth. Will acknowledging the dragon save the day, or is it already too late? This whimsical tale explores the power of belief and the unexpected consequences of denial.
