Athena: The Adventures of a Fearless Dragon
AUTHOR: GABRIELA NALVEN
Athena: The Adventures of a Fearless Dragon by Gabriela Nalven is a sweet and inspiring story of Athena and her two brothers, Aragon and Draco. These bearded dragons are born with some disabilities. Athena had missing feet on her hind legs while Aragon has a missing tail and Draco has underdeveloped hands and feet. Due to their disabilities, it gets difficult for their mother to take care of them and she sent them to their uncle for adoption.
On their way, they escaped from the airport and embarked on an adventure of their own. They found a camper and drove to different places like Crater Lake and Desert where they met other animals like themselves who were differently-abled.
Their adventures are beautifully depicted with colourful photographs that double the fun of reading this book. It is a great book for a young audience as there are so many lessons to be learned like teamwork, family's support, helping each other, becoming each other's strength, and last but not the least, to never underestimate yourself despite physical shortcomings and limitations.
