Doris the Dragon by Tom Morency

A charming rhyming picture book about kindness, courage, and not judging others by their cover.

Doris is a dragon who lives all alone on a hill-misunderstood, avoided, and feared. Sure, she breathes fire and has a pierced nostril, but deep down, she's gentle, warm-hearted, and just wants to be loved.

When a nasty cold takes away her fiery breath, the villagers discover the truth: Doris isn't dangerous-she's delightful!

With playful rhymes and whimsical illustrations, Doris the Dragon is perfect for children ages 3-7 and families who love heartwarming stories with a message of empathy, acceptance, and friendship.
