Trafford, PA Author Publishes Children's Book

The Dragon Who Had No Friends, a new book by Denni, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Menlo is a dragon who desperately wants to have friends, but try as he might, he is met with ridicule and contempt. His life takes a sudden turn when tragedy strikes the very community he is trying to befriend. In the midst of chaos and disappointment, his unique dragon abilities prove him to be a valuable friend.

The Dragon Who Had No Friends delivers an important life lesson, showing children the value of accepting others for who they are and not how they are different, and how words can be hurtful. Through humor and the fantasy of a fictional dragon, children learn about friendship, bravery, kindness, and the power of acceptance.
