El dragón con corona / The Dragon with a Crown

Illustrated by Pedro Rodríguez
Un libro ideal para hablar con los pequeños sobre el Coronavirus.

Un dragón con patas flacuchas y aires de grandeza, con corona y todo,
tiene atemorizado al mundo por su terrible virulencia.
A sus víctimas deja casi sin aliento, y el número de casos va en aumento.
Pero un joven caballero con lanza, caballo y yelmo de acero
está dispuesto a hacerle frente para impresionar
a una audaz princesa de armas tomar,
aunque para ello tenga que dar la vuelta a su forma de pensar.
¿Lo conseguirá?

Este libro da la vuelta a la leyenda de san Jorge para acabar dejándonos una gran lección, la lección que todos deberíamos aprender tras haber vivido el ataque de este virus dragón.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A dragon with scrawny legs and delusions of grandeur, with crown and all,
terrifies the world because of his awful virulence.
He knocks the air out of his victims, and the number of cases is on the rise.
But a young knight, with lance, horse, and steel helmet,
is willing to face him in order to impress
an audacious and formidable princess,
even if he must change his mind to do so.
Will he succeed?
 
This book is another turn on the legend of Saint George that will leave us with a wonderful takeaway, one we should all learn after having experienced this viral dragon’s attacks.
