Summary

Ember is a young dragon who doesn’t quite fit the traditional mold. While others expect her to roar, fly, and stomp, Ember prefers to dance in glittery sandals, expressing herself through graceful, joyful movements. But at first, Ember is laughed at by the other dragons, who don’t understand her passion. Undeterred, Ember embarks on a journey to embrace her individuality, learning valuable lessons from wise mentors and making new friends along the way. As she practices and perfects her dance, Ember teaches everyone around her the true power of being yourself. This heartwarming story of courage, diversity, and self-expression reminds young readers that being different is something to celebrate, not hide. Through Ember's sparkling sandals and the dance that comes from within, she shows us all that the world is better when we embrace our unique rhythms.
