Description

When the survival of their hometown is threatened, two unlikely comrades join forces on a quest to defeat a dangerous enemy and bring back the only one who can save them all.

Beyond the frozen mountains there lies an oasis from the frigid cold and the howling winds. A place the animals call Lake Zuron. What a wonderful place, happy creatures of all kinds, living in harmony and warmth thanks to their very own fire-breathing dragon named Daniel. 

But one day everything changed when the unthinkable happened. The Dragon fire goes out and immediately the air begins to chill. Things were not looking good but just when all hope was lost, an unlikely hero steps up. Join Spark the mouse on an adventure of a lifetime as he and his friends do their part to save their town from an icy demise. 

With the magical power of Daniel, the Dragon there could be hope. But first they must face and defeat a dangerous enemy, the vile beasts who own these mountains where nobody passes through. 

Along this journey maybe you will discover that it’s that little Spark in each of us that really matters, and that a little Spark could save them from the coming cold. The story reminds us that we all need something in life every day to ignite our passion and spirit – to help the world be a “warmer” place and to look for ways to “Be That Spark.”

Bio: 

Chris Parsons grew up in the small fishing village of Flatrock, Newfoundland where he was surrounded by storytellers. When he became a father, he began creating his own children’s stories, and soon he was sharing them with a wider audience. Over time, his audience grew up, but he continued to create his stories and colorful characters mostly for his own enjoyment.




Today, Chris lives in Dallas where, together with his wife, Kathleen, daughter, Maggie and son, Kealan, they share a love for all of God’s creatures. A Little Spark is his first book.




When the survival of their hometown is threatened, two unlikely comrades join forces on a quest to defeat a dangerous enemy and bring back the only one who can save them all.

Typically I only listen to NetGalley audios, but took the time to read this advance read copy via pdf.

OMG! So impressed with this children's book! There are QR codes that can be scanned throughout the book; the QR codes take you to a YouTube video with mini-songs and further graphics! Makes me wish I were a kid again and learning to read. (all this and only 20% complete)

I most certainly plan to place an order to purchase this book for my niece and nephew.

Many thanks in regards to Advance Read Copy via NetGalley and the author Chris Parsons and co-creator Kathleen Parsons. Book release date is Oct 1, 2020.

Graphics by Mike Motz are great. So far this reminds me a bit of a children's version of Animal Farm.

Seriously ... don't miss the QR songs! Loved them, so creative and well performed. They really add to the story. At the end of the book a QR provides a video Ned Newf Talks, I'm in my 50's and it made me chuckle!

In conclusion, this book is appropriate for new readers probably through 2nd - 4th grade. This book hits on themes like working together, equality, believing in oneself, bravery, being a friend, looking out for others, comradery and compassion. It really is a lovely story and truly a learning experience in so many ways. Well done to the Parsons!
