Book Review – The Dragonet Prophecy – Wings of Fire Book #1
The Dragonet Prophecy by Tui T. Sutherland, is an intriguing story about a group of five dragonets that have been raised in isolation so they can fulfill a prophecy that they end the war.
Clay is a mudwing dragonet, but he knows next to nothing about his own people and how they live. He is determined to protect his friends and prove that he isn’t the vicious killer their guardians believe his is. When the dragonets leave the safety of their cave, they are thrust into a cruel world where the different dragon species are divided behind the three sister dragons vying to be crowned the ultimate ruler.
The different types of dragons and their cultures in this book are fascinating. I loved the interactions between the dragonets and how Clay keeps them together. There were several twists and revelations. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

FDR Quote of the Day: Ignorance and Intolerance.

FDR Quote of the Day
This photo was taken at the FDR memorial in DC. If you haven’t visited, you should.
I don’t think this quote needs any explanation.
“We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and civil liberties of all citizens, whatever their background. We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.”

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial
Here are some more quotes from Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
“I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.”
“The test of our progress in not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much. It is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
Let’s not forget, that FDR and his programs pulled the USA out of a depression and allowed us to grow into a great nation, one that is presently being attacked from within. It is the government’s duty to protect its citizens and help them in times of need.

FDR Quote for Today’s World
Have you been to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in DC?
FDR did some great things. He pulled our country out of a depression and started many of the programs being destroyed today. Here is one of his quotes:
No country, however rich, can afford the waste of its human resources. Demoralization caused by vast unemployment is our greatest extravagance. Morally, it is the greatest menace to our social order.
We need to:
Protect our Democracy
Protect our Children’s Future
