WINNER OF THE BARNES & NOBLE PICTURE BOOK AWARD AND OVERALL CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARDThe heroic tale of a tiny dragon with a heart of gold and a taste for treats! A scrumptious picture book for fans of funny fairytales and fantastic beasts.

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.

- The picture book answer to How to Train Your Dragon, Impossible Creatures and Raya and the Last Dragon.

- For young fans of magic, fantasy and baking!- Themes of sharing, self-confidence and trying something new.

- Enchanting, luminous illustrations on every page.

- A perfect readaloud for bedtime or brunchtime!"Standout visuals bring a delectable tale to life." Kirkus Reviews
