The Dragon Kind is a children’s picture-book series created by author J.K. Angood (Jennifer Kay Angood) and illustrated by Astra. Each volume centres on a different dragon who embodies one core positive quality—kindness, bravery, honesty, love, hope, resilience, peace and others—and tells a gentle story that helps young readers recognise that quality in themselves and in the people around them.
The official series home is thedragonkind.com. This page is an independent overview drawn from that primary source and publicly available retail listings. It is not affiliated with the author or illustrator.
First Book: Kindlyn – The Dragon of Kindness
Kindlyn is a gentle lavender dragon who lives in a meadow of wildflowers. The story explores quiet, everyday kindness—the kind that is often unseen—and the feeling of belonging. It is positioned as a bedtime or early-reader picture book suitable for conversations about empathy, inclusion and emotional awareness. A colouring-book companion has also been mentioned by readers and on the author site.
Retail listings describe Kindlyn as the first title in the series. Availability and formats should be checked on the official site and major booksellers.
The Wider Cast of Dragons
The official site introduces a roster of dragons, each tied to a distinct value:
- Kindlyn — Kindness
- Emberling — Warmth
- Bravaro — Bravery
- Honestee — Honesty
- Amora — Love
- Glimmer — Hope
- Grifyn — Resilience
- Sorrian — Peace
Most of the later titles were listed as “Coming Soon” on the official site at the time of research. New releases, events and mailing-list updates are announced directly on thedragonkind.com.
Author Intent and Style
J.K. Angood describes the series as built around a simple belief: the stories children grow up with shape the kind of people they become. The books are written to feel warm rather than didactic, giving children characters they can connect with while quietly modelling courage, kindness and honesty. Illustrations by Astra emphasise soft, approachable dragons rather than fierce fantasy creatures.
