I’m probably being too adult in reading this book. So let’s start off with the kids hat on. This is a cute story of Drake the dragon who gets his first kiss. He reacts by blowing fire. He didn’t mean to, and he is worried that he might hurt human Violet if it happens again. He opens up to family who tell him it’s okay because that is who he is and what is in his nature. But he is still worried that he will hurt a human. Until he purposely blows fire at a boy who is taunting Violet. The illustrations are fun and whimsical and nicely round out the story. Now time to put the adult cap back on. When I read this story it makes me think of an abusive relationship. Where it’s just in Drakes nature to hurt the one he loves. Where it is okay to use violence against someone who harms someone else. My adult brain has a hard time not seeing that in this story, so while I think it is cute, I will not be adding it to my personal or library’s collection.
