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?
Gemma Merino spent the first half of her life in her hometown near Barcelona where she became an architect with very itchy feet. And after living and working in Dublin, Tel Aviv, and finally London, she discovered the fascinating world of picture books. Gemma won the Macmillan Prize for children’s book illustration in 2011 for her first book, The Crocodile Who Didn’t Like Water, while studying for her MA in children’s book illustration at the Cambridge School of Art.
