A world brimming with flowers and colors. An inquisitive young dragon. A sick friend in need of help.

Kaida Brightscales loves to explore. And when the shimmering winged creature crosses paths with a busy butterfly and a focused ant, she’s delighted to discover that they’re working hard at very important jobs. But after she spots her sick bee friend, she’s not sure how to help her feel better.

Bothered by the news that all the bees in the hive are ill, Kaida asks her insect buddies to help her find some medicine. And as the thoughtful youngster grows to understand more about how nature needs to be in harmony, she realizes she’s taken on a really big job.

Can she and her tiny chums stay strong and get everyone buzzing back to health?

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review. 

This is a story about a young dragon who helps her insect friends do all of their jobs, and they in turn help her to make some medicine for a whole beehive that she wants to help. It was a fun way to show that when you help others, they may help you in return. 

The illustrations in this book were so colorful and fun, and I spent a large portion of my time reading this book seriously contemplating getting a Kaida dragon tattoo because I just love her so much. Overall I rate Kaida Brightscales and the Magical Meadows 4.2875 out of 5 stars. - Katie

From my earliest adventures, I discovered the magic of letters coming together to form sounds, words, sentences, and ultimately, entire stories. This realization has been a source of pure joy and a lifelong learning experience. 📖💫

As a children's book author, I am privileged to share this enchantment with young readers through the tales of Kaida Brightscales, Bella the Bee, and the Beehive Secrets Series.

As an explorer, I believe in embracing life's adventures. Join me in this delightful adventure, where curiosity knows no bounds, and the magic of discovery and learning unfolds on every page.
