Abstract
Written by 9-year-old Daniel Kinchlea, this story is all about the first fire dragon and their search for help. The story mirrors Daniel's own understanding of his diagnosis journey as a young child.
About the author: At one year old, Daniel was diagnosed with a rare autoinflammatory disease. Caused by one or more genetic mutations, some of Daniel's symptoms include ongoing high fevers, rashes that cover his body, a rare blood disorder called macrophage activation system, Crohn's Disease, systemic arthritis, and interstitial lung disease.
His concept for the book was inspired by his unique experience as a rare disease patient and advocate.
