The Little Candy Breathing Dragons

This book is a charming, feel-good story about two candy breathing dragon sisters (Nay-Nay and Maj) who set out exploring one day and find themselves helping others they meet along the way.

Ms. Gloria Clark has gently dealt with subjects such as handicapped animals (a dog with no feet and a blind cat), as well as lost animals (the lion and dragon) and helping a deer get out of a well. She uses religious words to help convey to the reader how they can show acceptance, helpfulness, and faith. The moral of the story that is, “you must be kind to all you meet and help others when you can, for no good deed goes un-noticed and being kind is so easy to do.”

The Illustrations by Bobbi Switzer are beautifully drawn in full color and definitely help the story come alive.

The Little Candy Breathing Dragons is a keeper- book that will be read many times over and reside on many children’s book shelves for years to come. Ms. Clark is a new author whose books will charm and enlighten many lives.
