A playful little boy and his band of stuffed-animal friends celebrate love, friendship, and discovering something new in the place you least expect.
Dragonboy and his stuffed-animal friends are stuck at home, feeling as gloomy as the weather. If only they could go outside and discover something. Inside everything is the same as always. Or is it….
With patience, kindness, and old treasures made new, best friends Dragonboy, Yellow Kitty, Darwin, Drako, and Simon realize that an adventure can happen anywhere if they listen to each other and follow their hearts.
Every time someone shows kindness in this story, hearts appear! Can you find 100 hearts?
Fine artist Fabio Napoleoni is the creator of Dragonboy, a character based on his son, and the character Marcenivo, which he began drawing during the many months his infant daughter was battling a life-threatening heart condition. Fabio has also used his art in his seven years working with troubled and abused children before becoming a full-time artist. He has long been inspired by the multicultural street graffiti of New York City, as well as the colorful landscapes of Maine.
"Employs lovely imagery in description and dialogue.... The tale is beautifully augmented by inventive, detailed illustrations.... Tender, charming, and a visual delight."—Kirkus Reviews
"When a story opens with 'Once upon an evening, not too far from you…' you know you’re in for a worthy read. Dragonboy and his menagerie of mates return for a backyard adventure that continues the charm and cheer from Fabio Napoleoni’s first book. Like Dragonboy, Wonderful Night is a beautiful, thoughtfully crafted story that, along with art that is enchanting, can easily transport you to an inspiring place."—B&N Reads
