Bookroo's summary

In a world where dragons breathe fire, one little dragon feels out of place. She can't ignite flames like her siblings, but she dreams of flying to impress her father. A daring leap into the sky ends with a splash in a lake, where she finds unexpected joy. Could her true nature be something entirely different? Dive into this heartwarming tale of self-discovery and acceptance, where being different might just be the key to finding where you truly belong.

From the publisher

From the award-winning Gemma Merino, author of the iconic The Crocodile Who Didn’t Like Water (over half a million copies sold worldwide), The Dragon Who Didn’t Like Fire is a deeply funny story about acceptance, difference and unconditional love. Everybody knows that dragons can breathe fire, but unlike her brothers and sisters, this little dragon is different. She doesn’t like fire but she desperately wants to fly and make her Dad proud. In an attempt at flying, she finds herself plunging into the lake. Being underwater should be wet, cold and horrid, but it feels AMAZING. Could it be that this little dragon isn’t a dragon at all?
