THIAGO AND THE GOLDEN-HEARTED DRAGON is my first BedStory based on a true story, this picture book was born from the deep love of a father for his son, Thiago, who was separated from him years ago due to a case of parental abduction. In a magical world, Thiago meets Mom, a dragon feared by many but with a tender and brave heart. What begins as a fantasy adventure becomes a healing metaphor for reunion, empathy, and love that endures over time. A tribute to children separated—and to the parents who never stop loving them.
