When Miles, a young human boy who is often anxious and self-conscious, bonds with Drizzle on his Gifting Day, both of their lives change. Together they learn the true value of friendship and confidence.
Drizzle The Firefighting Dragon is an endearing and heartfelt story of timidness and triumph, perfect for ages 4-9 and children looking to learn that being different is a super-power.
Reviews
From Fire to Five Stars
This book tells a beautiful story about a father and son, how they navigate their relationship, and how they affirm and delight in their uniquenesses. When the son meets a dragon who, like him, might have skills that are less typical, he is quickly accepted. And, when those skills are needed, he is ready.
The story and the fun rhyme scheme make this great to read together! This book ABOUT a father/son adventure was written AS a father/son adventure. Beautifully illustrated too!
A book to be enjoyed by everyone. Great lessons for all, a heartwarming story about what really matters in this life and dragons! Who could want more?!?
10yo: “It was a really good book, and I liked that he picked the one dragon that the farmer didn’t like.”
8yo: “It was an epic book. I liked the part where he put out the fire.”
6yo: “I have a crush on it [the book].”
We enjoyed reading about Drizzle and Miles and their adventure. Love the rhyming!
