I don't usually read or review children's book as I have no children, but I saw this picture book on Goodreads the other day and the following statement really stuck out to me:"As an added bonus, 100% of the proceeds from each sale will be donated to the family of Alyssa Mowery. Last October, Alyssa was struck by a car while crossing the street with her friend Mia Decker (deceased) and sister Rain (minor injuries). Although Alyssa has awakened from her coma and said her first word since the accident, she has a long way to go.With your contribution and support, you can make a difference in this young girl's life."You know, I don't see authors giving away all their proceeds to help someone else all that often.  The last author I saw to do something like this is Joshua Grover-David Patterson (and he's still doing it here on Amazon), and so I think it's a very rare author indeed who writes in order to financially help another.  Therefore, even though I don't have children, I bought this book, and I read it too, because it's very short.  And I think it's worth the buy, even if you don't have kids, because it's going to help a child in need.  If you do have kids, well then, it's an added bonus.  Gordon has cute pictures of the baby dragon and all the things he does for his owner, like helping him brush his teeth and the like, so I think it's good for really young children.Support Alyssa through buying this inexpensive picture book.
