When a young boy loses his mother, an Invisible Dragon swoops in and perches on top of his head.
The book shows that healing takes time and that it\'s OK to experience a wide range of emotions as you process a really big loss..
Although grief is a heavy topic, Angie Lucas and Birgitta Sif handle it deftly for children, using the metaphor of the dragon, a light tone, and touches of humor.
My Big, Dumb, Invisible Dragon is a story for children dealing with loss, particularly the death of a parent.
As the boy comes to terms with his mother\'s death, however, his relationship with the Dragon changes in surprising ways.
A most unwelcome guest, the Dragon follows him to school, sleeps on his chest at night (making it hard for him to breathe), and even crashes his birthday party.
