This book is about a young, very ordinary Rwandan girl called Brenda. There is one thing about her, however, that is different: Brenda has a little dragon in her blood. The dragon is called HIV and for Brenda to remain healthy, the dragon has to remain sleeping. This is the true story of Brenda as retold by her foster mother which aims to encourage children to understand and talk about HIV/AIDS; and to accept without prejudice children with HIV and AIDS. The book continues to explain that children with HIV and AIDS are very ordinary children who need other children to play with.
