Praise for Lena & the Dragon

“An important picture book that addresses children’s trauma and resilience." - Mutually Inclusive

"One of - if not THE - best book I've ever read for children and trauma. It's brilliant...Highly recommend this for all the littles in your life, for doctor's offices, library collections, and Free Little Libraries. Basically, all kiddos need this book because all of them are vulnerable and may have dragons to contend with."

– Heather Demetrios, Award Winning Author & Writing Coach

"This beautifully illustrated story handles the difficult subject of childhood trauma in a way that parents can break down for young children. A touching and heartwarming story of hope and recovery."  -Namita Mehra, Author

“Walker, a licensed clinical social worker, has drawn on her expertise to craft an approachable, compassionate tale... Cordeiro’s expressive, colorful illustrations enhance the narrative, conveying moments of chaos and quiet with equal sensitivity. “
