Sometimes the way a child talks, the way a child dresses, where the child lives, or the color of his or her skin can be a target for teasing and bullying. Grady, the fatherly dragon, helps little dragon Sydney to understand that the world is a beautiful place because there is so much to see in the way of color--that differences make the world an interesting and wonderful place. Grady uses the natural things that are seen in springtime on the mountain to help Sydney appreciate who she is and that her differences are unique and beautiful.
