The Dragon Kite

by Kenneth Steven

Chang’s father makes him the most beautiful kite in the world. When the strong, blustery wind rattles his window, Chang races outdoors to try out the kite. But the wind pulls the kite right out of his hand and carries it far, far away, to the mouth of the enormous volcano. Chang is heartbroken. Will he ever see his beautiful dragon kite again?

This was a lovely story. It inspired Dylan to make his own kites and to draw dragons.
