Dragey’s Tales

A tender, Montessori-inspired adventure about growing up, letting go, and the magic of forever friends.

Perfect for ages 3-6, gentle parenting families, and anyone who's ever loved a very special stuffed animal.

What happens when a beloved dragon gets lost... but is never really gone?

Dragey isn't just a soft blue dragon with green wings and a red-tipped tail-he's a child's whole world. When he's accidentally left behind at Montessori school, the days turn into weeks... and then, a whole year.

But Dragey isn't just waiting.

He's watching.

He's learning.

He's growing.

Through quiet observations and small acts of kindness, Dragey discovers that even stuffed dragons can grow-especially when they're forgotten but not lost.

Meanwhile, his best friend Perin (a dino-loving, big-feelings kind of boy) learns that love can stretch across time, memory, and even to a new dragon on the bed.

And when the original Dragey finally returns? The reunion is everything real friendship is made of: joy, stories, and a tail bump of forgiveness.
