Maybe this news prompted you to drop your sandwich or even roll your eyes with disbelief….but I am here to tell you; Dragons are Real!
How do I know? I have proof.
In fact, I have MORE than proof! As children, my brother and I had a Dragon friend named Norbert for two whole summers in Gotland, Sweden.
I shared this story with Rocco during an interview at the wonderful KitLit TV.
The book Dragons are Real tells this story in vibrant color and I am so honored that I was able to team up with renowned children’s book illustrator Michael Welply.
Michael studied art in Winnipeg and Paris and he has illustrated over 80 books in Europe and in North America ranging from historical work to fantasy and fairy tales. He has two grown children, three grandchildren and currently lives in central France with his wife. Michael’s talent and vision allowed us to accurately (and magically) capture what my brother and I experienced with our dragon friend for two summers.
So basically, what I am trying to tell everyone is that all of the fairy tales, myths, and legends that have been told about dragons over the years are WRONG! Dragons are not only Real; they are all around us.
This book isn’t for everyone. It’s only for those BRAVE enough to look for dragons in the most usual places.
Once you find your nearest dragon you’ll need to know a few basic skills.
As readers turn the pages and learn the truth about Dragons, they will see that the fiercest beasts in known history can actually be the best of friends. It’s a lesson in finding companionship in the most unusual of places.
Dragons are Real is a magical book filled with stunning illustrations that prove that dragons are secretly all around us

What if I told you that all of the fairy tales, myths, and legends that have been told about dragons over the years are WRONG? What if I told you that Dragons are indeed REAL and different than you’ve ever imagined?
Did you know that Dragons are the master of disguises?
Did you know that they love sugar and sweets (at unacceptable levels) and will do anything for treats?
Award-winning author Valarie Budayr brings us this fairly true story based on her childhood friendship with a REAL live Dragon.
