Papa Dragon's Fiery Fiesta

by Gail Robin Raes

Cinco de Mayo with a dragon? What could possibly go wrong?

Papa Dragon is throwing a fiesta, and his great-granddaughter Mareena has a delicious surprise in store—an authentic homemade Mexican feast! With recipes passed down from her family in Mexico, Mareena is ready to teach Papa Dragon how to make fresh salsa, creamy guacamole, and the tastiest tacos ever.

But cooking with a dragon isn't easy! Papa Dragon's fiery breath turns the salsa extra spicy, his massive claws create a tortilla catastrophe, and when he tries to flip a taco… well, let's just say the ceiling gets a snack! Despite the kitchen chaos, Mareena and Papa Dragon share laughs, learn from their mistakes, and whip up a meal they'll never forget.

As Mareena shares stories of her family's traditions, Papa Dragon discovers that food isn't just about eating—it's about love, laughter, and bringing everyone together. By the time the fiesta begins, the entire family (from far and wide) gathers at Papa Dragon's house to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the most spectacular way!

Papa Dragon may not have mastered taco-making yet, but Mareena reminds him, "If you keep practicing, maybe you will—when you grow up!" Packed with humor, heart, and fun, easy-to-follow recipes, Papa Dragon's Fiery Fiesta is a delightful celebration of culture, family, and the joy of sharing a meal together!
