The Happy Boy Tricks the Dragon: A Happy Boy Adventure About Turning Problems into Wins is an uplifting retelling of a classic folk tales that use mirrors as symbols of both truth and distortion, such as Snow White by the Brothers Grimm or The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. This story teaches children the power of resilience, optimism, and determination. This beautifully illustrated story follows a cheerful young hero on a quest to rescue his true love. Along the way, he helps others resolve conflicts, earns a magical mirror that reveals how others see him, and ultimately outsmarts a fearsome dragon-using wit instead of force.
