Finley Won't Flame

What happens when a dragon is afraid of fire?

Finley is the world's most unlikely dragon. While every other dragon in the valley breathes spectacular, spiraling, show-stopping flames, Finley can barely manage a puff of smoke - and honestly? He's perfectly happy to keep it that way. Fire is loud. Fire is hot. Fire is BIG. And Finley is... not so sure about any of that.

But when a tiny golden firefly named Luna lights up the meadow one evening, she shows Finley something incredible: even the smallest flame can change the whole world.

Full of belly laughs, big feelings, and a gentle message that will stay with young readers long after the last page - Finley Won't Flame is a read-aloud treasure for children who've ever felt scared of something they thought they should already be good at.
