Kindness and compassion lie within this magical story that will captivate a younger audience.
Focusing on Imogen and her younger brother, the book tells the tale of their encounter with a dragon, who appears to have no ability to breathe fire. Accompanying him on his journey, they go in search of his flame uncovering the magic and myths of dragons. The author really hones in on the themes of uniqueness and acceptance of ourselves, driving home the message that kindness to others is instrumental in achieving this. Add into the mix a lovely peppering of Christmas magic, the book is simply perfect for curling up with in the wintery season.
Beautiful images adorn the pages – lifelike in appearance but not overly so, and their subtle colouring adds an ethereal air to the book, which again is perfect for those colder seasons. The language is perfectly chosen, adding detail and bringing the tale to life. It’s definitely a book for much younger readers to enjoy with adults.
If you’re looking for an enchanting tale to share with your little one as the festive season nears, this book will certainly capture their hearts. The Book Dragon had the pleasure of reviewing this book on behalf of the author and awards it with a well-deserved 5 stars.
