The Tiny Dragon

©2012  Watercolor/Digital

"Miniscule dragons flit among the flowers and shrubs
of my garden, napping in the honeysuckle and roses.  How I long to 
earn their trust, look into their bright inquisitive eyes, 
hold one, and gently caress their tiny wings."

An excerpt from Nana Amy's diary

Watch for this upcoming children's novel from EverAfter Stories Children's Books!

dark gloomy clouds and perpetual rain. For weeks now it’s poured and we’re 
as mossy and drippy as something you’d find down in South Mississippi!”
