How to get the most from these
What your child does in a dragon story
Your child does not slay anything. They are the one who walks closer when everyone else steps back, works out what the dragon is actually upset about, and fixes that instead.
Why dragons are the safest way to practice bravery
A dragon is a feeling with wings. A child who cannot say they feel too big, too loud or too much will talk at length about a dragon with exactly that problem — and being the person who calms it down is a role worth rehearsing.
Titles parents made this week
Ethan and the Dragon Who Was Scared of Fire. Lily Teaches a Dragon to Whisper. Kai and the Dragon in the Recycling. Your child's name goes where those names are, and the plot is written around it rather than pasted over it.

Frequently asked questions
Are dragon stories too scary for a 4-year-old?
Not when the dragon gets a worry of its own in the first page, which is how these are written. The dragon becomes a character to help rather than a threat to survive.
Can the same dragon come back in the next story?
Yes. Companions are saved to your child's story universe with their name and personality, so the dragon from tonight can turn up again next week.
