Watercolor illustration of an angry blue dragon sitting on a stack of three books in a classic attitude - loaf position. Bottom book is an amber shade, middle is charcoal grey leaning to black, and top book has a rainbow spine. Her tail appears to be twitching, much like a cat who is contemplating mayhem.
