Worries, fears, and anxieties are all dragons that sneak up on most of us at one time or another. Sometimes you need some help defeating your dragons. Lots of people get dragons. Even really really good people get them. And sometimes they''re hard to get rid of. So what can a young boy with a bad case of the dragons do? He can pretend they are not there, or that they are really quite harmless. Hugs from his mom help. Looking his dragon straight in the eye at least once every day helps even more. But most reassuring of all is the reminder that dragons don''t stay forever. You''ve Got Dragons provides real, actionable advice on handling stress and provides good inspiration for conversation and creative coping.

A new edition of a gently reassuring picturebook about the way ordinary things often seem terrifying to a small creature.
