A dragon joins the holiday celebrations

A newly befriended group of humans introduces a little dragon to holiday gatherings built around candles, lanterns, and decorated trees—activities unlike the dragon’s usual roar-alongs and tail wrestling. The contrast creates a playful setup for a picture book about friendship and discovering common ground across differences. Its celebrations span Christmas, Diwali, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Lunar New Year, Ramadan, and Shougatsu, giving the holiday theme a broad range of traditions. The book is presented as a read-aloud, with its central idea anchored in a child-friendly fantasy encounter.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy picture books about dragons and other mythical creatures
  • Families seeking a holiday read-aloud that includes several cultural and religious celebrations
  • Young readers interested in stories about friendship and finding common ground

Book overview

Perfect for fans of Dragons Eat Tacos and We Don't Eat Our Classmates, When a Dragon Goes to a Holiday Party is a hilarious picture book that's sure to become a favorite holiday read-aloud in every little reader's library--human or dragon.

Congratulations, little dragon, you've made a bunch of new friends just in time for the holiday season! Sure, they may be a bit small and squishy and not-very-dragon-y--their holiday parties consist of lighting candles, hanging colorful lanterns, or decorating trees, instead of roar-alongs and tail wrestling. But you'll still have a fabulous time! You may even discover that you have more in common with humans than you think.

Features celebrations of Christmas, Diwali, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Lunar New Year, Ramadan, and Shougatsu.
