About this Event
The bestselling Bakery Dragon is back, braving a snowstorm to deliver cookies and cheer, just in time for Christmas! And a friend in need requires the greatest cookie of all, one that can warm even the coldest heart. Join us as we celebrate the publication of The Bakery Dragon and the Giant Cookie on Wednesday, 21 October 2026 at 4 PM with a special after school visit with author-illustrator Devin Elle Kurtz.
‘Tis the season for cookies!
As the holidays approach, Ember the dragon is on delivery duty, traveling across the land to bring cookies to one and all. When a snowstorm blows him off course, Ember tumbles down a giant’s chimney and meets his toughest customer yet. The curmudgeonly giant dislikes both Christmas and cookies, but especially Christmas cookies. Can Ember bake a cookie delicious enough to change his mind?
From the bestselling author of The Bakery Dragon comes a cozy tale of sweet treats given with love, and the power of kindness to bring us together.
Devin's fun and friendly presentations include her books, storytelling, creating art, and more. There will be time for audience questions and book signing.
