Book description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER The heroic tale of a tiny dragon with a heart of gold and a taste for treats! A scrumptious picture book for fans of funny fairytales and fantastic beasts. Ember has always been different from the other dragons. His fearsome roar sounds more like a polite sneeze, and when he breathes fire, the villagers just pat his head and say awwww. Ember fears he'll never collect a respectable hoard of gold until a chance encounter with a baker causes his fortunes to turn (and his stomach to grumble). As the little dragon soon discovers, the gold you make is way better than the gold you steal - and gold that is shared? That's best of all. Magic shimmers on every page of Devin Elle Kurtz's feel-good picture book that celebrates baked goods, dragons, and generosity in equal measure. Filled with adorable illustrations, this is a perfect read aloud for bedtime or brunchtime! Review"Chef's kiss panels devoted to Ember's apprenticeship and skill at breadmaking are so winning that readers may well clamor to get their hands on some dough." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Review"Standout visuals bring a delectable tale to life." Kirkus ReviewsReview"[A] sweet, luminous picture book....This cheerful, friendly story of someone small accomplishing something big should resonate with little readers." Shelf AwarenessAbout the AuthorDevin Elle Kurtz lives in Pasadena with her dog, Kira, and her thirty-three houseplants.
