Written for readers ages eight and up, Be the Dragonpromotes social and emotional learning through the wild fun of dragons, creatures that embody enchantment, power, and individuality. Its a novel way to help build kids character and confidence. In each section Finding Your Roar, Spread Your Wings, Guard Your Treasure, and more kids will read an engaging, action-packed parable that brings a childs inner life into focus through the adventures of dragons. These dragons whimsically illustrated in full colour are not scary or fearsome. They are amiable, charming, and relatable as they tackle their own challenges and find their powers. Each parable is followed by a quiz and three lively activities or Quests that reinforce the wisdom of unlocking the readers unique powers and discovering courage, compassion, perspective, positivity, reflection, and more.
"Taken all together, this book should help fantasy-focused kids with their self-esteem, confidence, and fears; its all made the more enjoyable with Demmers friendly artwork. This book is on fire.Kirkus Reviews
