The Dragon Within: Dragon Kid: A Light You Carry

By Kelli KJ Paris Malone

KJ is brave, bright, and still learning how to handle big feelings. When a tiny dragon of light named Spark appears, she begins discovering that courage has been inside her all along.

From moving to unfamiliar places and weathering storms at home to finding peace on the basketball court, earning her spot on the team, speaking up, making friends, and facing disappointment, KJ learns to name her emotions, use her voice, ask for help, and choose how to use her fire.

The Dragon Within is a full-color, feel-good chapter book for ages 7-12 that combines an encouraging story with Dragon Truths, Power Tools, affirmations, reflection activities, discussion questions, and caregiver guidance. Young readers will gain practical tools for confidence, emotional awareness, resilience, and self-belief-along with one powerful reminder:

You are light. You are love. You are enough.
