Turmeric, the curious dragon, had a deep fascination with stories, particularly those centered around dragons. However, his parents were hesitant to share many dragon tales due to their belief that such stories often had unhappy endings for dragons. Undeterred by his father's warnings, Turmeric embarked on a quest to discover the truth for himself.

Meanwhile, in a small village nestled amidst rolling hills, Pip, a young girl with a passion for storytelling, found herself captivated by tales of dragons. Despite the frequent trouble that these stories brought her, she couldn't resist their allure. One day, while wandering in the village, Turmeric and Pip crossed paths unexpectedly.

Little did they know, their encounter would lead them into their very own dragon story. Madeline Pinkerton, a talented illustrator, was discovered working behind the scenes in the Edinburgh International Book Festival bookshop. Her warm, classical-looking illustrations perfectly complemented the wonderful story about bravery, following one's own path, and friendship. Madeline's debut book, published by Little Door Books, marked the fourth Little Door Debut.
