Francesca the Dragon

This is the story

of Francesca the Dragon—

her winsome journeys

from familiar climes to foreign lands,

from alienation to acceptance,

from dejection to optimism,

as recited by

father to sleep-shirking son

at bedtime request.

Fourteen engaging illustrations

narrated via timeless florid prose

allow us to witness Francesca

as she seeks a home

befitting the truth of her

heart's immensity.

Raising a child can be daunting—especially if they sense ostracism. Sometimes things get better, and not just believing that but knowing it may foster sufficient intent to change their own narrative. This story illustrates that there can be a place in one’s life for mourning the past, the possibility that new horizons lie ahead and that one may eventually be accepted and appreciated as-is.

~ On uncommon words (as this story has several)

Remarkably receptive to context clues, children grasp far more than we realize. That said, make an adventure of noting any unfamiliar and/or interesting words in advance of exploring a dictionary and thesaurus together.
