The Bakery Dragon

Ember, a small dragon with an unimpressive roar, fears he will never be as good at stealing gold as other dragons, but discovers a different path to joy after a chance encounter with a baker.

The Bakery Dragon is a NATIONAL BESTSELLER. It tells the heroic tale of a tiny dragon with a heart of gold and a taste for treats. This scrumptious picture book is perfect for fans of funny fairytales and fantastic beasts.

Ember has always been different from the other dragons. His fearsome roar sounds more like a polite sneeze, and when he breathes fire, the villagers just pat his head and say awwww.

Ember fears he'll never collect a respectable hoard of gold until a chance encounter with a baker causes his fortunes to turn (and his stomach to grumble). As the little dragon soon discovers, the gold you make is way better than the gold you steal—and gold that is shared? That's best of all.

Magic shimmers on every page of Devin Elle Kurtz's feel-good picture book that celebrates baked goods, dragons, and generosity in equal measure. Filled with adorable illustrations, this is a perfect read aloud for bedtime or brunchtime!

About the Author

Devin Elle Kurtz is the bestselling author and illustrator of The Bakery Dragon. She's been painting in Photoshop since the age of two when her artist mom first offered her a tablet pen. Her magical scenes combine fantasy elements with environments that feel visceral and real. She was the lead background painter on the animated show Disenchantment, and has contributed to publications such as Beasts of the Four Nations, Escape from Atlantis, How to Heal a Gryphon, and Mother of Sharks. She lives in Pasadena with her dog, Kira, and thirty-three houseplants, and is hard at work on The Bakery Dragon's next adventure.
