Love of Reading

Children are busier than ever. They spend all day at school and some are part of extended education. When they’re not at school, they are involved in sports, church, and other activities that leave very little downtime. It’s no wonder that few children take the time to read for pleasure. Books must be compelling with strong characters that kids can relate to.

It's no Joke

Nickerbacher loves to make people laugh. So much so that he wants to make a career out of being a comedian. He practices his routine on Princess Gwendolyn with great success. She roars at his antics, especially the imitation of his papa. Laughter is music to Nickerbacher’s ears and compels him to create more funny material.

Father and Son

Nickerbacher and his father have a strained relationship. Papa Dragon wants Nickerbacher to have a traditional job so he can be safe. But Nickerbacher wants to break new ground. Their love grows stronger by the end of the story because they learn to truly understand a viewpoint different from their own.

Minute to Win It

Today’s children are involved with many after-school activities, sports teams, and the latest video games. For kids to voluntarily read books, the story has to be compelling and believable. The characters have to face challenges to overcome and learn to make decisions for themselves. Nickerbacher has a big decision to face and we'll be rooting for him all the way.

You be You

This book is aimed at helping kids understand that it’s okay to be yourself. Finding your own truth and honesty will get you far in life. It also includes the theme that differences make us unique. Not being the same could be an asset that could change the world for the better.

Be the Achiever

Nickerbacher will inspire kids of all ages to dream big! They will benefit from his extraordinary qualities as well as laugh at his silly jokes.
