Description

皮帕古德哈特 (Pippa Goodhart) 創作的一個迷人故事，非常適合學習閱讀的孩子。

爺爺和其他人不一樣──他會對著山說話。有一天，他對孫女莉莉說了一個關於龍孩的古老故事──龍孩是個由龍媽撫養長大的人類小孩。

An enchanting tale by Pippa Goodhart, perfect for children learning to read.

Granda is different from other folk – he talks to the hills. One day, he tells his granddaughter, Lily, an old story about Dragon Boy – a human child who was raised by a dragon mother.

The young lad lived happily with his family in the Dragon Hills. He looked like a dragon in his costume of leaves, and he learnt to sing dragon songs. But he couldn’t make fire like his dragon friends and somehow, he still felt as if he was the odd one out.

Then one day, Dragon Boy is reunited with his real mother and goes to live with his human family, but he still misses his dragon past and he still talks to them when he can. Just like Granda in fact, thinks Lily!
