The Littlest Dragon enters the story at the end of chapter one and the fact that he is so small is one of the most important aspects of this work.  It seems so often in our world that size matters.  The big and important people get all the attention but that’s not the way it should be.

I wanted to create a creature that looked vulnerable and maybe even helpless to serve as a model of who we can be, of what we can over come regardless of how small or insignificant we are perceived.  I wanted to show that we don’t need special powers to overcome difficulties that being normal is okay and if we focus on the  positive and have persistence we can succeed.

I have the utmost respect for other children’s book authors.  The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling is fantastic and what a success story.  The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan has made him the #1 New York Times bestselling author.  Kids and adults love these works but in the end I wanted to produce a children’s story that could not only entertain but could have long lasting effects.  A story where the hero of the story didn’t have to be a wizard like Harry Potter or like Percy Jackson, be the son of Poseidon an Olympic God.
