But Esmeralda Dragon thinks she can't fit in and with the image of her body she thinks she can not dance. Well, this book helps with body image and encourages you to keep going and trying to fulfill your dreams. It also teaches us to never give up.
Will Esmeralda Dragon get what she wants or will she give up on trying. She has a friend Harold and he comes to encourage her. He does seem to step up when everyone else does not. You will be surprised by how this ends.
The pictures are done well. Just cause you do not look like others does not mean you can not fit it. You just are different and need to do things differently. Will Esmeralda Dragon get to dance? Children should try and keep trying to reach their dreams. They should never give up if they want to reach them. This seems to be what this book is about. The meaning of it along with the body being different. That should not matter if you can do something.
