Diego Fuego: The Firefighting Dragon

In this hilarious and heartwarming picture book, a young dragon learns to celebrate the unique icy powers that set him apart from his fire-breathing family and becomes a hero!

Diego Fuego lives on the southernmost tip of South America in Tierra del Fuego with his dragon family. Even though the rest of the dragons can powerfully roar fire, Diego is allergic to smoke and can't create even the tiniest flame. His allergies lead to sneezes…and those sneezes produce ice flurries instead of flames! When a fire grows out of control, Diego soon finds that this weakness can actually be his superpower. Diego Fuego the Firefighting Dragon is a heartwarming tale that celebrates individuality, courage, and the power of embracing one's true self.
