Happy Family Raves about Their Danny the Dragon Set
Danny the Dragon fans are the best! Hearing from them lights up my day like nothing else! Recently a family purchased the Danny the Dragon set (the Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy softcover book and Danny the Dragon DREAMS CD). The mother, Chantelle, wrote in to tell me how happy her son Rohan was with his set, and she even sent me PICTURES! “We have one VERY EXCITED little boy!! :)” Chantelle wrote, “He absolutely loved waking up to a package on Saturday morning.” The Danny the Dragon set that Rohan is posing with in these pictures is available for …
This Child Loves Danny the Dragon!
This lovely and heartwarming letter came in to me today from a mother in England who purchased a book via this Danny the Dragon website.

Hi Tina 🙂 We have one VERY EXCITED little boy!! 🙂 He absolutely loved waking up to a package on Saturday morning. Jumped out of bed and said “Can I go to School today?” and I said …
Natural Remedies for Your Child’s Tinnitus
When I visited a school for the deaf on my East Coast book tour for my children’s book, Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy, I hardly knew much of anything on the subject of deafness and hearing problems. Since making the promise to myself to reach out to deaf and hard of hearing children, first by releasing the first children’s book iPad app with sign language interpretation, I learned about tinnitus among children, surprised by how common it among kids. If your child has been diagnosed with tinnitus, you two can rest fairly comfortable with the fact that many children with …
Stories of Famous People with Tinnitus to Share with Your Child
Tinnitis can vary in severity among children, but as with any health condition, it can be hard to cope with it, especially when you’re a child. When I visited a school for the deaf on my East Coast book tour for my children’s book, Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy, I connected with the kids on a very special level and began to conduct research in the areas of deafness and hearing problems such as tinnitus. One of the most interesting discoveries I made had to do with how common tinnitus actually is, and how many great artists and celebrities must …
When Should Your Child Get Cochlear Implants
Before my visit to a school for the deaf on my East Coast book tour to promote my children’s title, Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy, I hardly knew anything about the subject of deaf literacy. However, since that life-changing day,when I decided to do something on behalf of this issue, I now understand the complexity of the issue, especially for parents of deaf children. Perhaps the most important decision you’ll make as the parent of a deaf child is which method of communication is best for your child. If you’ve decided that your child should join the 219,000 deaf people …

Cilie Yack is Under Attack! By Caryn Talty
If you have celiac disease like me, you’re probably aware of the abundance of resource guides available on the market. Many of these have proved to be invaluable to the celiac community, but there remains a segment of the celiac population who haven’t been able to benefit as we have from such books—children. Thanks to Caryn Talty, a former schoolteacher living in Chicago, celiac kids now have not only an informative resource, but a creative and entertaining one at that—Cilie Yack is Under Attack! This fictional book follows the adventures of the Irish boy Cilie Yack, who experiences an array …
