“Kazul’s not my dragon.“ Cimorene said sharply. “I’m her princess. You’ll never have any luck dealing with dragons if you don’t get these things straight.”
Dealing With Dragons - Patricia C. Wrede
I haven’t thought about this book in over ten years. This picture brings back so many memories.
A short note about the illustrator:
The artist is Trina Schart Hyman, a Caldecott-winning illustrator who contributed to hundreds of publications during her lifetime. She was insistent at including black children in her illustrations at a time when few white illustrators did so, drawing her own grandchildren into her work. Most notably, she drew covers that included children of all races on the over of Cricket Magazine during her time as art director.
Later in life, she was also in a relationship with a woman, Barbara Rogasky, a prolific Jewish author, and often drew the two of themselves together in the works in which they collaborated.
