In Ember Valley, every dragon breathes fire: big orange flames, roaring red flames and crackling golden flames. Every dragon except little Zuri. When Zuri takes a deep breath and blows, out comes a soft, swirling cloud of snowflakes! The young fire dragons laugh at him. "Who ever heard of a snow dragon?" So Zuri hides in his cave behind the waterfall and practices every day. But no matter how hard he huffs and puffs, only snow comes out. Then comes the hottest summer Ember Valley has ever known. A fire races through the dry forest, straight toward the cliffs where the dragon eggs lie in their nests. The fire dragons flap and roar, but fire cannot stop fire. Old Ignar, the wisest dragon of all, knows that only one little dragon can help... Zuri, the Little Dragon Who Breathed Snow is a warm, exciting picture book about being different, believing in yourself and finding the courage to try. Inside this book, you will find: A gentle little ice-blue dragon who feels he doesn't fit in. A big, brave rescue that little listeners will cheer for. A wise old dragon who believes in Zuri. Beautiful dragon pictures: waterfalls, flower meadows, fire and sparkling snow. Short, simple sentences for reading aloud. A happy ending that shows how being different can be special. A lovely read-aloud for children ages 3–7, and a perfect gift for any child who loves dragons, or who sometimes feels different from everyone else.
