Our hidden inner dragons can be emotionally expressive for sure!! We must learn to harness the volatility of our moods before they smother all the fun. Thank you for your sweet words of support! 💚

I love when authors write a book that will be meaningful to a child, but also to the one reading to the child! It is such a clever trick and I think we all need all the help we can get to tame our "grouch!"
I wholeheartedly agree with your offered points!! This one is relatable and entertaining for readers of all ages. The illustrations are cute AND authentically angry, and we can all use a new approach sometimes. Those gosh darn grouches, lurking around every corner! 🌿🐲

It was a delightful little book! The fierce but darling dragon made me want to keep flipping the pages, and the little boy had a relatable personality. I hope several young readers get the opportunity to check this one out! Thank you for your kind words. 💚
