Delightful dragons lead the way through this diverse, rhyming children's book to overcome childhood fears

Audio, ebook and hardback formats bring to life the soothing tale of an outcast dragon who overcomes childhood fears, bravely lulling a pair of scary babies to sleep with his magical sand.

The "boring Tan Dragon" wins the respect of his colorful peers when he faces his fear and realizes his special gift. Brilliant, often abstract, paintings by Stephan Theo and Nicole Theo illustrate this enchanting rhyme-Stephan Theo from the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television voice acts the audio book, to singer-songwriter Nicole Theo's guitar accompaniment. The dragons in this bedtime story frolic to poetry, while delighting, empowering and motivating. Kids will love the award-winning author's charming tale of a rainbow of silly dragon friends pulling together and overcoming their fear of the littlest humans. Teaches: facing fear to find unique virtues; diversity; colors; reading words finishing rhymes.

Praise for this book

"Here's a rhyming bedtime story with a difference, JL Morin's Tuck-a-tuck Dragon, fierily illustrated by Stephan and Nicole Theo. It's all about an outsider at a draconic sleepover party ... Tan Dragon." ―Bookloons

"A cute rhyming children's book teaching colors and co-operation." ― Melissa Dials, Teacher, Cool Ridge, West Virginia; Rating: 9 out of 10

"Much love for Tuck-a-tuck Dragon," ― Beenish Arif, Children's Book Reviewer

"Rating: 9 out of 10," Derek Uibelhoer, School Librarian, Livingston, NJ

"A strength of this book for little children is how it presents the often-petty behaviour of young ones, and the casually hurtful way in which they can interact, even with accepted members being subjected to jeering and cutting behaviour. The story meanders through the dragons' play, with them eventually settling down to a traditional end to any children's get-together by telling tales to scare each other for fun. And what scares dragons the most? It is children! Because 'babies throw tantrums, as everyone knows!' The climax of the story is when the 'last picked for teams' Tan Dragon is sent to deal with a wailing baby, and how our hero, Tan Dragon, overcomes his fear, to settle both baby and the other dragons to sleep." ―The Book Review, Literary Trust
