Martha and Arthur Turn Sadness into Gladness: Cute dragons help kids learn mindfulness, turning ‘bad’ times into ‘good’ - a rhyming daytime / bedtime story, suitable for baby, preschool & kindergarten
About this ebook
spending their lives in a world of rhyme.
The gentle dragons are on a quest
to always improve and be their best.
Today they learn that feelings of sadness
can become feelings of gladness.
In this book, our usually-happy dragons are decidedly grumpy (“they had made a sauce, but it was lumpy.”) Luckily, a friendly mole pops-up and alerts them to the fact that the sauce is still delicious. Realizing that there is often another way of feeling about things, they share a number of situations where they each turn a feeling of sadness into a feeling of gladness: “Martha feels sadness. It is time for school… Martha feels gladness. Learning is cool.”

About the author
One afternoon, just for fun,
Fable drew a dragon, enjoying the sun.
But that one dragon was not the end,
as Fable decided to give her a friend.
“Ooooh...” said Fable, “I like their look.
Maybe I should put them in a book?
It would be fun and fulfill my yearning
to help small children with their learning.”
A decision was made that the book should rhyme,
and the dragons would have a wonderful time,
but most of all, they would be on a quest
to always improve and be their best.
So in between, much other stuff,
six books were created. It was kind of tough.
There was much to do and much to learn.
Both ends of the candle had to burn.
But there was some help along the way.
A psychologist and a teacher had their say.
They gave their input and were very nice,
and humble Fable took their advice.
Now the books are ready and in the store,
and if they are liked, there will be some more.
Other things are on their way,
but what they are, I can’t yet say…
