O knihe

Summary of Nina's Glass Dragon for amazon.com "The power of art and friendship. The vibrancy of this story really shines through!" -Julia Carmel, Los Angeles Times "Nina's Glass Dragon is a wonderful resource that imaginatively encourages young readers to build empathy and understanding - an important skill in a child's healthy, social-emotional development." -Dr. Jessica Bianchi, Marriage and Family Therapist and Board Certified Art Therapist Little Nina lives in two different worlds. She lives with his artist dad in a broken-down old house surrounded by a glorious glass sculpture garden. Nina's dad made a giant glass dragon in their front yard. People come from near and far to see the Dragon shine. They come to see all the big animal sculptures her father has made of recycled bottles of many shapes, sizes, and colors. The glass animal sculptures attract lots of visitors to their amazing outdoor art gallery. They all take pictures. Nina's Dad gives tours, and Nina collects donations. But Nina has a problem. With beautiful art surrounding her ugly old house, Nina feels ashamed. She's ashamed of living in a such worn-out old house, especially with wild raccoons on the roof and a possum coming into her kitchen. Nina is afraid to make friends for fear they'll make fun of her home. Then, unexpectedly, her loneliness ends when Kim comes into her world. Kim and Nina's friendship starts with a misunderstanding. Kim is a new learner of the English language. When Kim and his parents visit Nina's home they see the outdoor sculpture garden. Kim is surprised and delighted. Because of Kim's positive view of Nina's living situation, she is happy to have made a friend. Nina is no longer embarrassed about where she lives. She's made a lasting friendship with Kim.
