Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A beautifully tender story touching on the range of emotions immigrants may feel when leaving their home countries - excitement and sorrow, fear and courage.
Anita watches the dragons high above her as she hops from one cement roof to another in her village in the Dominican Republic. But being the valiant princesa she is, she never lets them scare her. Will she be brave enough to enter the belly of the beast and take flight to new adventures?

"What a punch this book packs. Hannah Carmona's lyrical narrative is paired with THE dreamiest artwork by Anna Cunha - I'm obsessed with the color palette, and the gentle simplicity of her spreads is calming, yet full of energy"--The Little Literary Society
