About the book:

Most children today will never see a truly dark sky because light pollution obscures the celestial wonders that inspired countless generations. Little Sky Bear will rekindle that lost connection.
It’s the enchanting story of a mighty dragon who finds himself lost and alone in a strange land. After rescuing a bear from a hunter’s trap, they become unlikely friends. When the reckless hunter continues his pursuit of the bear, the dragon must find the courage to protect his friend.
The story brings to life four constellations in the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere, telling a tale of friendship, wonder and the beauty of the cosmos. Little Sky Bear and the Dragon is the second book in the Night Sky series from the mother-daughter duo of Amy Jackson (Starry Sky Austin founder) and Donna Paredes. Richly illustrated and lovingly told, Little Sky Bear and the Dragon is a must-have for young dreamers, stargazers, and lovers of magical adventures.
Perfect for ages 6-10, Little Sky Bear and the Dragon is an unforgettable story that will spark imagination, inspire exploration, and remind us all of the wonder waiting just beyond the glow of city lights.
Order your copy today and take the first step on an adventure among the stars!
