“The dragon’s body was three shades of emerald green and the sheath of each wing was painted a brilliant purple. The bottom of its feet and the tip of its nose were lavender, and when the dragon opened its mouth to breathe, a fire as brilliant as a new day’s sun sprang forth.” The moment IndiAsia first saw the dragon, she knew without a doubt that her life would never again be as it was. Nor shall it be for any reader who discovers this book and, in turn, discovers that the truth of our greatest moments of victory, courage and belief waits quietly within. A story of encouragement to all children, Jean Bartlett’s IndiAsia and the Dragon is the recipient of the 2001-2002 Mentoring Award from Big Brothers Big Sisters of the East Bay, Inc. Throughout the history of Big Brothers Big Sisters, this is the only book to receive an award.
