Dario is a young dragon who can't bear the fiery dishes every other dragon loves—lava stew, fire‑pepper soup, and sizzling bean pie make him sneeze sparks instead of breathe flames. Ashamed, he tries to hide his difference—until a chance meeting with a spice‑shy goblin helps him discover that "dragon fire" comes in many flavors. With playful rhymes, gentle humor, and vibrant scenes, The Dragon Who Was Afraid of Spicy Food shows children (ages 3‑6) that true strength lies in embracing what makes them unique and sharing it proudly with others.
