In a land known as Buffalo, ice and snow covered the ground. In that far-off land there lived two little candy
dragons. Instead of breathing fire these dragons blew candy. The sweet smell penetrated the air whenever they were
around.
These two candy dragons were special indeed for they were sisters who shared everything. Nay-Nay was the younger
and she was very shy. Her sister Maj was just the opposite and always had something to say. The two were complete
opposites, but complemented each other when they were together.
One day they set out on a journey to see what they could discover. Along the way they met a puppy dog without any
feet. Tootie Slim was his name and a proud puppy was he that he didn’t let the fact he was missing feet slow him
down from enjoying life. Proud to have met him, Nay-Nay and Maj went on their merry way.
They find on their journey that they are destined to meet new friends, each facing his or her own obstacle. They
meet up with Mrs. Pookie, a kitty cat who is blind. Mrs Pookie is trying to find her way to Mrs. Jenny's where she was
assured she would have a roof over her head. Nay-Nay and Maj happily guide her to Mrs. Jenny’s house and bid her a
fond farewell.
As the journey progressed they managed to rescue Butchie, the deer, from a well and guided Dig, the dragon, back
on the road to his home in Keysville. Each time they stopped and helped a new friend they felt like they had
accomplished something special.
The day was quickly coming to a close as night approached. Nay-Nay and Maj found themselves turned around and
did not know which way to turn to return home. Out of nowhere a wise owl appeared and offered to help them. He
reminded them that no good deed goes unanswered and was happy to provide the assistance they needed to get them
back to their safe, warm beds.
The Little Candy Breathing Dragons is truly a magnificent book. There are so many life lessons that can
be explored and learned in this one book. What really touched my heart was the way the author presented people with
disabilities and showed the candy dragons that although these people were facing obstacles they couldn’t imagine,
they still went on with life and enjoyed it to the fullest. Parents will be proud to purchase this book for their
children; it truly is a remarkable tale. The only thing that could improve this story is adding more illustrations
to each page. This will greatly enhance the overall context of the story. Very highly recommended.
