OverviewA charming Spanish language story about a young artist in a family of sword fighters, whose passions are put to the test when a dragon attacks his village. Miguel was like a paintbrush in a family of steely swords ... All his life, Miguel's familia told him he must fight! But his family's art of sword fighting never captivated him as much as the sway of his colored pencils did. When his village is threatened by El Dragon, Miguel must make a choice: will he stand with his familia and fight, or can he prove that the pencil is mightier than the sword? With vibrant illustrations from award-winning artist Sara Palacios, this charming story of family tradition and self-discovery will inspire young readers to always follow their passions.
