The story follows a young girl and a toy dragon that brings her luck and shows her the strength of a supportive community. It is aimed at six-to-10-year-olds.

Behind the book is Wrexham Football Club, its technology partner Hewett Packett and non-profit NABU – a publisher of multilingual children’s books.

Inspired by the Wrexham community, the book features real locations and ‘easter eggs’. It aims to instil pride in Welsh children and inspire a love of reading, particularly bilingual reading.

NABU co-founder Isabel Sheinman said, ‘Collaborating with Wrexham AFC has enabled us to write our first Welsh-English book, which we hope will instil pride in Welsh children and inspire a love of reading for young football fans globally.’
