What happens when the one thing you love most becomes the one thing you refuse to share?

In The Selfish Dragon and His Colorful Ball, a lonely dragon treasures his bright, beautiful ball more than anything in the world. He guards it. He hides it. He refuses to let anyone touch it.

But something unexpected happens — the more he keeps it to himself, the lonelier he becomes.

With guidance from a wise elder and encounters with playful monkeys, curious snakes, shimmering mermaids, and a brave little boy, the dragon begins to learn a powerful truth:

Sharing doesn’t shrink joy. It multiplies it.

This heartwarming, beautifully simple story teaches children:

The importance of sharing
