About the Book
Pretty Foundation (2018). Charlie’s Tales: Cassia and the Fire Dragons. Pretty Foundation.
ISBN: 9780646985695
Charlie’s Tales Cassia and the Fire Dragons aims to teach young people that our bodies may be similar in some ways and different in others, but all bodies are special and can do amazing things. The key message that kids take away is that they don’t need to compare their bodies to others – we each have special talents we can bring to working together as a team. The Charlie’s Tales series aims to build body confidence in early developmental years to prevent the development of negative body image.
