A Magical Story That Can Inspire a Real Family Adventure
Bonnie Bright's The Leaf Dragon does something wonderful: it can change the way a child looks at an ordinary pile of leaves.
Walker eagerly awaits the return of his magical friend, the Leaf Dragon, who calls him her “Little Knight.” And being her Little Knight comes with an important mission—one that introduces Walker and young readers to the surprising amount of life connected to the leaves beneath our feet.
We especially love how easily this story can continue after the book is closed. Read it together, then head outside and look around. What can your child find? What creatures might be nearby? What can your family do to help?
The beautiful illustrations, fascinating nature connections, and printable activities add even more opportunities for families to explore and create together.
A charming combination of fantasy, nature, and child empowerment that reminds kids of something important: you are never too little to make a difference.
