A beautifully written book to help children find self acceptance and understand that life brings many gifts. Within Darion, a young dragon, a fierce battle rages. Unable to understand why he can’t breathe fire and desperate to fit in, Darion deflects his anger on the one dragon that will do all in her power to help him. Through stories within stories and worlds within worlds, Darion’s aunt Iridiana passes down the wisdom of the ancestors. Iridiana knows that Darion will find his own tribe, but first he must learn to let go of the pain and anger he carries within. Iridiana shows Darion that even in the darkest times, life is a gift. Gifts can be found in unlikely places. Beyond the night sky, the moon, the stars and other worlds shine. Even when hidden by clouds.
Author Biography
Nina De La Mare is a holistic therapist and author of the fantasy book “ Darion’s Gifts’ but this hasn’t been her main career. In 1994, after finishing her degree in Biological Imaging, she completed a P.G.C.E to become a teacher. Initially Nina decide teaching wasn’t for her. Instead she made roof tiles in a pottery, but the universe works in mysterious ways! The pottery burnt down whilst Nina was on a camping trip in Wales. She needed to work so she applied for a teaching position. During her first teaching job she discovered she was dyslexic. Some might see this as a disadvantage; however, Nina used her difficulties to help her gain insight into the minds of children. She adapted her teaching style, making learning accessible to all. Nina went on to specialise in working alongside children with Special Educational Needs. One of Nina’s favourite ways to connect with her pupil’s is through the art of telling stories. Spoken stories, she felt, encouraged more in dept thinking and discussion and children could relate on an emotional level. Because of Nina’s ability to connect with children, she was a awarded a prestigious Millennium Fellowship to study peccaries in the Brazilin rainforest. On her return she worked with local communities setting up environmental groups.
