A Lesson in Sharing

The gentle, generous dragon Trafalgar True gives the gift of a Sun Stone to the cute little kith and kin. Instead of enjoying the lovely stone together, the two groups begin to argue over who it belongs to. When Trafalgar tries to restore peace, the two groups must come together to save his life. It's a sweet (maybe overly sweet) tale with a clear lesson that kids from toddlers to early grade school will enjoy.

As a past kid

I don't specifically remember wonderful themes of kindness and sharing, but I do know that my eyes light up when I see this book. It must be something special of a twenty-year-old in college does that.

Great Story On Sharing

Trafalgar True is a winged dragon who lives in a country called Kurium, along with several small creatures called Kith and Kin, which he loves to watch play.One day a large, bright Sunstone falls from the sky and lands in their meadow. The Kith and Kin are fascinated by the stone, but neither the Kith or Kin want to share it with the other. They fight and squabble over possession of it. All the while, Trafalgar True witnesses their fighting and grows sad because of it.Then Trafalgar True realizes what he must do: he must return the Sunstone to the sun. So, he begins his rise into the sky when the Kith and Kin find their Sunstone gone. At first they accuse the other of stealing it, but one of them notices Trafalgar flying in the sky with the stone in his grasp. Obviously, they know no one could fly to the sun and survive, so they gather in a circle and call for Trafalgar to return. As soon as he does, the Kith and Kin decide it was pointless to fight over the Sunstone; instead, they would share it.The moral:"So, when it comes to sharingWith Kith and Kin or you,Remember what you're sharingIs the love of Trafalgar True."Both adults and children will love this book. It's beautifully illustrated by Robin James.
