About this Book

Bedwin, the dragon, was shy as could be,
he loved every creature and lived by the sea.
But because he looked different, he was left all alone,
when all Bedwin wanted was friends of his own.
One day he met Greeples, scared at the start,
but they looked past his scales to see his true heart.
With friends by his side, the world felt so bright—
filled with joy and wondrous delight.
For when you’re surrounded by true friends who care,
there is no limit to the adventures you’ll share.

PREVIEW

In Bedwin, Michael and Susan Lynch take young readers on an enchanting journey that celebrates the power of differences among new friends. Set against the backdrop of whimsical characters, the story introduces Bedwin, a lovable but lonely dragon who is misunderstood and feared by others. 

Aimed at children and families, Bedwin explores themes of acceptance, curiosity, and the courage to embrace the unfamiliar. The story follows Bedwin as he searches for friendship and encounters a pair of eclectic companions, each with their own unique traits and quirks. Through these encounters, Bedwin teaches that the very things that set us apart can enrich the friendships we form.

Written in a charming poetic style and brought to life with vibrant illustrations by  Amanda Minard, Bedwin invites readers of all ages to join in a celebration of diversity and discover the timeless truth that no circle is complete without embracing those who are different from us.
