Humphrey the Dragon: Fire Breathing, Maybe!: Humphrey the Dragon, #1

By Victoria Carter

On a sweltering hot mountainside overlooking a warm ocean Humphrey the dragon was born. He and the other little dragons born at the same time grew and grew and grew and grew and were soon ready to learn to breathe fire.

The little dragons were so excited, they each grabbed a firestone, popped it in their mouth and chewed and crunched and swallowed. Then they tried to breathe fire….

Humphrey opened his mouth and breathed out haaaaaa and out came something, but it wasn't fire! He closed his mouth very quickly again, hurmmph. Mom and dad just stared. What was this? They had never seen anything like it.

What was happening to Humphrey? Would he breathe fire? Would he learn to be himself even if he was different?

Join Humphrey, on the first of his adventures, as he discovers that he is wonderfully made by God who has a plan for each one of us.

Victoria Carter

I'm Victoria Carter, mother of 2 beautiful girls and wife to an amazing man. I started writing when I was very young but never took myself too seriously. I still don't take myself too seriously but I have come to realise that many people enjoy my writing and that I really would like to let everyone in on the worlds I create. My books are all stories I created with morals, ways of speaking that I wanted to witness, creative ideas on touchy subjects etc. In creating stories and chatting through all that happens to the characters I have solved many a playground problem with my own girls. I hope that the stories might help someone else too. And even if they don't solve any problems, I hope that they are great fun to read! Enjoy!

For Emily and Olivia who excitedly adventure through imaginary places with me. And for Brian who plays along with loving enthusiasm our girls will never forget.

Psalm 139:13-16 (NIV)

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was
