Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2026Format: KindleI loved the artistic look to this book. It really help create a beautiful world with amazing imagery. My daughter is 5 (almost 6) and we are working on her emotions and self confidence. This was a great book to read to her and I also enjoyed the affirmations at the end. Leo is an adorable little dragon and I was happy we got to go on his journey with him.
I asked her opinion of the book and here are her thoughts, "I like this book. It makes my heart happy. When it said the emotions I started feeling all the emotions because the book is so good. The characters were really good. I also liked that I get to see all the beautiful stuff that they did."

Leo, the dragon on his birthday, feels a profound loss when he cannot light the candle on his cake. Through his journey, he meets various animals who offer him advice to look inward and embrace his emotions. His encounter with the foxes gathered around a fire provide him warmth and their spirited dancing reignites Leo's spirit and joy.
It is a touching and empowering story suitable for children navigating their feelings and self confidence, reminding us the fire within has always been there, it just needs to be awakened.
In a world where children often encounter challenges that can dim their light, this book serves as a comforting, hopeful beacon.

 Warm touch of poetry

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2026Format: Paperback

The story of Leo the dragon and the fire he believes he has lost is a warm embrace and a poetic invitation to experience one's emotions. With gentleness, it teaches children that we are unique, precious, and alive even when we feel down, even when negative emotions make us think we have lost our flame. But that flame is always present deep within us and reminds us of who we are.
A light and simple story, yet rich in meaning, to be experienced and explored with young children, and accompanied by truly original illustrations.
