It's Appreciate a Dragon
Day!
This
fantastic fest of fiery fun was created by author Donita K. Paul as a way to
promote children’s literacy (and quite possibly her book, Dragonspell).
Regardless
of how it began — if you happen to have a dragon, it’s a good time to show the
love.
And what
the heck, you can go ahead and appreciate those dragon fans as well. That’s my
plan, anyway.
My
daughter came into this world with a 100-decibel roar and lungs full of fire.
In fact, I’m pretty sure that her second word (after Daddy, of course) was
“Dragon.”
At that
time her enthusiasm was so dang cute that the entire family hopped right on
board the old dragon wagon…
It was
decidedly less cute when she was a six-year-old riffling through the
classifieds for great deals on Komodos.
And Honey,
if you’re reading this — yes, they are wicked-cool, but the answer is still no.
PROMPT: It’s time to celebrate those fierce
and feisty marshmallow roasters of the fantasy world! Write a fairy tale today
and, for Pete’s (Dragon) sake, let the beastie win.
