About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like their personal quirks or lack of physical control are a source of shame or embarrassment. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels like a square peg in a round hole, especially those navigating the pressures of a classroom environment. The story follows a young dragon named Drake who, instead of breathing fire like his peers, breathes out water, a drizzle that makes him feel like a failure. As Drake navigates Dragon Academy, the narrative gently explores themes of self-confidence, anxiety, and the discovery of hidden talents. This chapter book is perfectly pitched for ages 6 to 9, offering a relatable metaphor for neurodivergence or physical differences. It helps children understand that being different is not a defect, but a unique strength that simply hasn't found its right moment yet.
