“Because being quiet doesn't mean you can't do something wonderful.”
From Sean and the Lantern Dragon
The story
Sean wants to play with the other children at school. But during noisy indoor recess, his tummy flutters, his hands feel shaky, and his words seem to disappear.
Then, near an old quiet staircase, Sean discovers something magical: Mip, a little blue dragon with scales that glow like golden lanterns. Mip has a secret of his own. Loud noises frighten him too.
As an unexpected friendship begins, Sean and Mip discover that trying something small can take a lot of courage. Will Sean find the words to join a classmate’s game?
Because being quiet doesn’t mean you can’t do something wonderful.

Questions
How do I get my eBook?
Right after you pay, Payhip shows your download link and emails it to you. On a phone, open the email's link in Safari or Chrome, not inside the email app, and save the PDF. Not in your inbox? Check Promotions or spam.
Reading it on a tablet, phone or e-reader
It's a full-color PDF. It looks best on a tablet, and it opens on any phone or computer in a PDF app such as Apple Books or Google Play Books. On a black-and-white e-reader, the pictures show in grey.
Reading on your device, step by step.
Can I use it in my classroom?
Yes. You can read it aloud to your class from your own device. Please don't share the file with students or other teachers.
Will this fix my child's worries?
No book can promise that. Sean's stories are a gentle conversation starter, not a treatment. If you're worried about your child, talk with your pediatrician or school counselor.
What age is it for?
Ages 4 to 8, as a read-aloud. Children who are learning to read can read it with a grown-up.
Is there a video of the story?
Yes: a free read-aloud of about 10 minutes on our Watch page.
