Xiao Xin believes he is a fire warrior, but his family thinks the world is too dangerous for him. Can he inspire his family to trust him?

Xiao Xin believes he is a fearless Red Fire Warrior, but his family is always telling him to be careful--he's too little to be a warrior! They believe the world is a dangerous place. But they don't understand what Xiao Xin can be! Can Xiao Xin show his family that he is capable of more than they believe, and inspire his little sister to be brave, too?

Renowned storytellers Alice Pung and Sher Rill Ng bring to life a beautiful and tender story told in both English and Mandarin about learning to conquer your own fears--as a child, and as an adult.
