Ember has always been different from the other dragons. His fearsome roar sounds more like a polite sneeze, and when he breathes fire, the villagers just pat his head and say awwww.

Ember fears he’ll never collect a respectable hoard of gold until a chance encounter with a baker causes his fortunes to turn (and his stomach to grumble). As the little dragon soon discovers, the gold you make is way better than the gold you steal—and gold that is shared? That’s best of all.

Magic shimmers on every page of Devin Elle Kurtz’s feel-good picture book that celebrates baked goods, dragons, and generosity in equal measure. Filled with adorable illustrations, this is a perfect read aloud for bedtime or brunch time!

Ember siempre ha sido diferente a los demás dragones. Su temible rugido apenas suena como un leve estornudo, y cuando intenta lanzar una llama, los aldeanos le soban la cabeza diciendo awwww.

Ember teme que nunca llegará a reunir un botín respetable de oro, hasta que un encuentro fortuito con una panadera hace que su suerte cambie (y su estómago se deleite). Muy pronto, el pequeño dragón descubre que el oro que se hace es mucho mejor que el que se roba. ¿Y el oro que se comparte? ¡Ese es el mejor de todos!

La magia resplandece en este reconfortante libro ilustrado de Devin Elle Kurtz que celebra en igual medida las delicias de panadería, los dragones y la generosidad. Adornado con ilustraciones bellísimas, este es un libro perfecto para lectura en voz alta a la hora de dormir o durante el desayuno.
