What is a dragon to do? This tale is about such dragon in the quest of his beloved friends and the journey he undertakes to find them. This is a fractured fairy tale with delightful characters for children ages 8 to 12 and their parents.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not always easy to wear glasses in a society where \"being perfect\" is admired and imperfection is criticized. It is seen as a weakness and even the super heroes only wear glasses as a disguise and an excuse to act meek and cowardly. As a visually impaired person having felt the scorn and margination in society, I decided that children need a hero to look up to that also wore glasses. Even strong, scary dragons can have visual problems. I hope this little story will boost children's self esteem and see themselves as heroes. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50469681758431,"sku":"9781948820356","price":22.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/SHpIN3JCd0I2R2xoTWFJUkN3Vjc2dz09.webp?v=1782226829","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-nearsighted-dragon-that-loved-crickets-hardcover","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
