REVIEW - HERALD LIVE: "I would recommend each primary school get hold of a copy of The Day the Dragon Came and perhaps go so far as to set up a discussion at a parent-teacher night to let families know about how to address this issue if it ever invades their home, and to be aware of the pointers it gives to keep our children safe. Therapists who work with children might also find it helpful. Thank you, Fanie, for writing this book! "
