Sparky: The Bravest Little Dragon (And the Egg That Started It All)
By Eskinder Yimer
A Heartwarming, Action-Packed Dragon Adventure for Ages 6-10
In the enchanted Valley of Glowing Embers, where rivers sparkle like liquid gold and fireflies dance at dusk, lives the smallest dragon anyone has ever seen. Meet Sparky - a tiny, butter-yellow dragon with a roar that sounds more like a sneeze and sparks that barely light up his own nose. While the other dragons boast mighty flames and sky-shaking wings, Sparky struggles to fly without crashing into berry bushes. But when danger threatens the valley, this little dragon will prove that the greatest heroes often come in the smallest packages.
