Guardian of the Glow

Coming Soon!

Can a little bit of light defeat a giant cloud of gloom?

In a valley where dragons are expected to be loud, fierce, and breathe hot fire, little Pip is different—he uses his breath to make beautiful flowers grow and glow. When a giant, cranky "Grumble-Cloud" rolls in and covers the village in heavy gray fog, the biggest, fiercest dragons are powerless to stop it. It’s up to Pip and his brave, nature-loving friend Alex to step out of their secret garden and use their unique, quiet talents to save the day.

A heartwarming tale about embracing who you are, discovering the power of quiet strengths, and finding the true magic of friendship.

• Thinking About the Story

  1. The Power of Friendship: At first, Pip felt sad when his brothers teased him. How did things change once Alex joined him? How does having a true friend help us feel brave when things are difficult?

  2. Unique Talents: Pip was different from his brothers, and Alex was different from the other village children. Have you ever felt proud of something you can do that is unique to you?

  3. Problem Solving: Blaze and Cinder tried to fight the Grumble-Cloud with fiery force, but it only made things worse. Why do you think Pip's gentle glowing flowers and Alex’s smart planting worked instead?

  4. The Power of Kindness: Pip could have stayed hidden in his garden, but he chose to help the whole valley. What does that tell us about his heart?

• Imagining the World

  1. Sensory Details: If you could visit Pip’s garden, what do you think it would smell like? What would the golden glow feel like on your skin?

  2. The Grumble-Cloud: What do you think the Grumble-Cloud was made of? If you had a "Grumble-Cloud" day, what’s one thing that always makes you feel sunny again?

  3. Dragon Magic: If you were a dragon in this valley, what would your special talent be? (Maybe you grow giant blueberries or blow bubbles that never pop!)
