Imagine waking up one day to find your mother turned into a dragon! That is exactly what happens to young Owen in this delightful new picture book by Pija Lindenbaum. Owen and his mother often share hectic mornings of making breakfast while trying to get ready for school and work. During these mornings, Owen always wears a dragon mask over his head which seems to match his mother’s frequent bad moods. One day, Owen wakes up to find his mother has turned into a pink dragon that doesn’t know how to cook breakfast or how to work! Owen and his mother share a hilarious day of visiting the zoo, the doctor, the local park, and Owen’s grandmother. At first Owen finds this predicament kind of funny, but he soon begins to miss the mother that knew he needed nutritious food and rules. The next day when Owen awakens, his old mother is back in the kitchen making breakfast and ready to spend the day with him. Was Owen’s day with his dragon mother all a dream or did his mother really turn into a dragon? To find out and share a few chuckles along the way, pick up a copy of When Owen’s Mom Breathed Fire by Pija Lindenbaum!
