What if the way everyone else does something is not the way that works for you?
Every young dragon dreams of reaching Fire Mountain. Golden Dragon does too.
But Golden Dragon's wings are different. When the other dragons take to the sky, every attempt to follow them ends with Golden Dragon back on the ground. Soon, he begins to wonder whether he will ever make the journey—or whether there is a place for a dragon like him at all.
With the support of a caring teacher, encouraging friends, and a community willing to think differently, Golden Dragon begins to discover something important:
There is more than one way to soar.
Golden Dragon is a warm and adventurous picture book about disability, inclusion, friendship, courage, creativity, perseverance, and belonging.
Through Golden Dragon's journey, children are encouraged to:
embrace the ways they are different
ask for help when something feels difficult
think creatively when the usual path does not work
recognize the value of supportive friendships and community
discover that success does not have to look the same for everyone
Written by play therapist, author, and educator Jackie Flynn, <i>Golden Dragon</i> offers families, teachers, counselors, therapists, and inclusive classrooms a hopeful way to talk about disability, self-acceptance, courage, and finding a path that truly fits.
Different does not mean less capable. Sometimes the bravest journey begins when we discover our own way forward.
