The Unfriendly Dragon is Brae’s first children’s book which is dedicated to his grandson, Avery, who at four years of age asked his grandpa if he would write him a story. The characters are taken from his young adult novels. Brae partnered with Seth Weinberg, a 20+ year veteran of Disney, as the artist for his book.

It is for ages 4 and up…adults included! The characters are based upon the characters within my young adult novels with a great message of finding truth and making friends no matter your differences.

The book is dedicated to my grandson, Avery, who asked me at 4 years old, “Grandpa, can you write me a book?”

I responded, “Why yes I can!”

That is how it all started. I wrote the story but didn’t have the pictures to go with it. God arranged that part when Jill and I went on a mission’s trip to the Philippines. It was there that one of the team members, who we had never met, worked for over 20 years with Disney, Hasbro, and others. He graciously said, “Yes, contact me when we get back to the states.”

Now the book is complete! You can buy a copy on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other retail book stores or you can contact me for an autographed copy to be mailed to you.

Brae Wyckoff is an award winning and internationally acclaimed author, born and raised in San Diego, CA.

Teacher Reviews

“You have captured the importance of making friends in Kindergarten or any grade level for that matter; especially the transition years (Kindergarten, Jr. High and High School, college, new school etc.).  I was also able to imagine sitting at circle time and reading aloud to my Kinder/First Grade students, The Adventures of Bridazak and Friends: The Unfriendly Dragon by Brae Wyckoff.”

“What a great book! The pictures are fantastic. They capture what the words are saying perfectly. It’s a great way to point out to children that even though we are different we still need to treat others the way we want to be treated. Great read!”

“The Adventures of Bridazak and Friends: The Unfriendly Dragon is children’s fantasy picture book that follows the journey of do-gooders Bridazak and friends to reconcile true friendship in the Everwood Forest. With some charm and magical descriptions, young readers will delight in the legendary characters and vivid illustrations. A great read-aloud, especially in a group setting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone teaching the importance of how to make new friends and celebrating differences.”
