Bookroo's summary

Ember, a dragon with a sneeze-like roar, struggles to fit in with his kind. His fortunes change when he meets a baker, leading to a delicious discovery: creating and sharing gold is far more rewarding than hoarding it. Will Ember find his place in a world that values generosity over greed? Join this heartwarming adventure filled with magic, baked goods, and the joy of giving.

From the publisher

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The heroic tale of a tiny dragon with a heart of gold and a taste for treats! A scrumptious picture book for fans of funny fairytales and fantastic beasts. Ember has always been different from the other dragons. His fearsome roar sounds more like a polite sneeze, and when he breathes fire, the villagers just pat his head and say awwww. Ember fears he’ll never collect a respectable hoard of gold until a chance encounter with a baker causes his fortunes to turn (and his stomach to grumble). As the little dragon soon discovers, the gold you make is way better than the gold you steal–and gold that is shared? That’s best of all. Magic shimmers on every page of Devin Elle Kurtz’s feel-good picture book that celebrates baked goods, dragons, and generosity in equal measure. Filled with adorable illustrations, this is a perfect read aloud for bedtime or brunchtime!
