"When My Sleeping Dragon Woke is a courageous and insightful retelling of Sharon Washington's journey as an artist in her own words. Her story as a little Black girl growing up in a library and becoming a woman who embraces the opportunity to speak the truth of her experience is a testament to what is possible when we dare to be our full selves and share our stories with the world."
