Ursula Vernon:
author of the Dragonbreath series for kids (ages 8 & up)

Dragonbreath is a very popular children's book
series from Ursula Vernon. A combination of text and graphic novel, the Dragonbreath
books tell of the adventures of Danny Dragon, a young dragon attending a school
for reptiles and amphibians. Join Danny and his best friend Wendell the Iguana
as they travel under the sea outwitting bullies, fending off giant squid, meet
giant heron, run from ninjas,and fight were-hotdogs, all the while trying to
avoid getting an F in Science!

It’s not easy for Danny Dragonbreath to be the sole
mythical creature in a school for reptiles and amphibians—especially because he
can’t breathe fire like other dragons (as the school bully loves to remind him).
But having a unique family comes in handy sometimes, like when his sea-serpent
cousin takes Danny and his best iguana friend on a mindboggling underwater
tour, complete with vomiting sea cucumbers and giant squid. It sure beats
reading the encyclopedia to research his ocean report . . .

Ursula
Vernon is the author and illustrator of "Nurk," "Digger,"
and a number of other projects. The daughter of an artist, she spent her youth
attempting to rebel and become a scientist, but eventually succumbed to the
siren song of paint (although not before getting a degree in anthropology,
because life isn't complete without student loans, right?). Her work has been
nominated for an Eisner award, "Talent Deserving of Wider
Recognition" and a number of Webcomics Choice Awards.
