Description

There is a place called Kurium where Kith and Kin both different and alike live in harmony. They lived this way until one day Trafalgar True, a dragon blue, brought a gift to them that they would need to share. Soon the forest was filled with squabbling as Kith and Kin fought over who should keep the gift. Children of all ages learn that if you care, you can share in the land of Kurium. Ages 5-9

This is a beautiful story that is also gorgeous illustrated to the details. And it is truly a great book to have.

Within this book the main character is actually shown in a secondary light when compared to the Kith and Kin who also live in the island. But although he is secondary-like it is the dragon who keeps an eye and is willing to sacrifice himself in the attempt to bring peace back to his home. This is definitely one of the top dragons of Cosgrove!
Trafalgar True is a dragon with big sad eyes who teaches little bunny/skunk/fox-like things with big sad eyes about sharing. As with all these books, the art is absolutely gorgeous and the story is sweet and simple.
Another great story from Cosgrove.
