Sunrise Dragon Excerpt:

Dragon landed on the soft sand and took a few steps. It felt so nice between Dragon’s toes! Dragon wiggled them deeper into the sand and smiled. The sun was now starting to peek over the horizon. The pink and orange of the sky reflected in the ocean’s surface. What a majestic sight! Dragon was grateful to have woken up early enough to see the sunrise.

Dragon relaxed on the beach, taking in the gorgeous view as the waves crashed on the sand. The beach was peaceful yet energized at the same time in the early morning light. Glancing down, Dragon noticed there was something blue that was almost buried in the sand, right next to them. Puzzled, Dragon reached down and after a few tugs, pulled it out. It was Benji! Benji was a sand bucket, the kind used for making castles.
