Breathing fire is something that all real dragons can do, and Tekshek tries all he can, but nothing happens. And nobody, neither adults, nor children seem to be able to help him. His friends and family try to support him with advice, sympathy, encouragement and pep talk but to no result. Not until he meets someone who really takes the time to listen to him and understand what he is going through. Then something happens that makes them all sing with joy. **The tale of the dragon Tekshek is a beautiful and encouraging story about the art of listening with the heart**. This story is the result of combining moments of storytelling and knowledge of the power of listening. A story that might be even more important for the adult reading it to a beloved child. Authors are **Neo Rung**, 4 years old, and **Liv Larsson**, Mediator and [Certified Trainer in Nonviolent Communication](https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/liv-larsson). --- #### REVIEWS *"I love to read this book. I bought it to read to my son but I also get a lot from it. Every read reveals a new layer of empathic listening and NVC insight and metaphors (did you spot the giraffe doctor…). The illustrations are equally nonviolent with soft crayon and light water colours… thank you for this beautiful book!"* - **J****agruti Patel**, Germany --- ### Eventyret om dragen som ikke kunne spy ild "Eventyret om dragen som ikke kunne spy ild" af Neo Rung og **Liv Larsson** er en illustreret og fantasifuld børnebog med noget på hjerte. "Eventyret om dragen som ikke kunne spy ild" handler om en drage, som ikke kan spy ild som alle de andre og om at lytte med sit hjerte. Bogen er skrevet af Liv Larsson, som er mægler og uddannet træner i ikkevoldelig kommunikation, i samarbejde med hendes søn **Neo Rung**. Den eventyrlige og rørende historie opstod, mens de sammen talte om vigtigheden af at kunne lytte med udgangspunkt i både eventyr og virkeligheden. **Maria Tison-Larsson** har illustreret bogens fortælling. ![](https://www.cnvc.org/images/STORE/The%20Dragon%20Who%20Lost%20His%20Fire_back_cover_English.jpg) --- The purchase of items from our virtual store help support CNVC through affiliate links where we may earn a percentage of the sale.
