In a land marked by endless fighting between knights and dragons, a mother gives her eager little boy a sunflower rather than the sword he requests, and when he wields it against a real dragon, new understanding begins.

When the Prince refuses to go to bed each night, people come from near and far with "cures," but an old woman knows the best way of putting children to sleep.

When her mother brings new baby Leo home, Ruby feels left out until she realizes that she has the important job of being a big sister.

Ruby's imagination turns everyday objects, like a house for sale and a tabby cat, into frightening surprises on her walk to school with her Mum.
