Be the Dragon: 9 Keys to Unlocking Your Inner Magic

Written for readers ages eight and up, Be the Dragonpromotes social and emotional learning through the wild fun of dragons, creatures that embody enchantment, power, and individuality. It’s a novel way to help build kids’ character and confidence. In each section – Finding Your Roar, Spread Your Wings, Guard Your Treasure, and more – kids will read an engaging, action-packed parable that brings a child’s inner life into focus through the adventures of dragons. These dragons – whimsically illustrated in full colour – are not scary or fearsome. They are amiable, charming, and relatable as they tackle their own challenges and find their powers. Each parable is followed by a quiz and three lively activities – or Quests – that reinforce the wisdom of unlocking the reader’s unique powers and discovering courage, compassion, perspective, positivity, reflection, and more.
