The Rainbow Dragon is a beautifully illustrated, fun story for children that encourages imagination and learning about others and appreciating the good things we have. In the Valley of the Rainbow lives a little dragon named Redtail Smalltooth. Though happy, Redtail knows only dragons that fly and blow smoke from their noses - and even fireballs into the night sky. Redtail is unimpressed and doesn't care to learn their silly tricks. He longs for the days of old when human children lived in the valley doing such magical things as flying kites and sipping tea. One day while out for a walk flying his imaginary kite, Redtail encounters a rainbow and when he touches it an amazing thing happens - a child appears! Excellent on every level - The Rainbow Dragon has all the elements of a great fantasy, rendered in a fresh, alluring, well-crafted world, with sympathetic characters and tons of mystery.

Book Description
Modernization and conversion to world religions are threatening the survival of traditional belief systems, leaving behind only mysterious traces of their existence. This book, based upon extensive research conducted over a period of nearly four decades, brings scientific rigor to one of the questions that have always attracted human curiosity: that of the origin of the dragon. The author demonstrates that both dragons and rainbows are cultural universals, that many of the traits that are attributed to dragons in widely separated parts of the planet are also attributed to rainbows, and that the number and antiquity of such shared traits cannot be attributed to chance or common inheritance, but rather to common cognitive pathways by which human psychology has responded to the natural environment in a wide array of cultures around the world.
