About This Book
This enchanting chapter book tells the story of Ignis, a young dragon who, despite his other talents, struggles with not being able to breathe fire. Feeling like he's not a 'real' dragon, he sets out on a journey from Dragonland to find his unique spark. Along the way, he encounters new friends and experiences that help him understand himself better, even if his quest for literal fire proves elusive. Illustrated by P.J. Lynch, this tale gently explores themes of identity, self-acceptance, and finding belonging. It's ideal for children aged 4-11, offering a comforting narrative for those grappling with feelings of inadequacy or difference.
Though he is admired by others, a young dragon does not feel complete because he cannot breathe fire.
