Jamilla and the Autistic Dragon

A Magical Journey of Self-Love, Acceptance, and Unbreakable BondsOn her 13th birthday, Jamilla uncovers a life-changing secret-she's inherited powerful, ancient magic that hasn't been seen in her family for generations. But the gift of magic comes with challenges. Sent away to a school where she's the only Black student, Jamilla feels isolated and out of place. While learning to control her new powers, she struggles to find her voice and her sense of belonging. Her only real connection is with Latifa-a nonverbal, autistic girl who can transform into a fierce and loyal dragon. As the two girls journey through a world filled with magic, mystery, and misunderstanding, they uncover hidden truths about Jamilla's ancestry and face an ancient threat rising once again. But the greatest battle Jamilla faces isn't with magic-it's learning to embrace who she is and to see Latifa's differences as strengths, not burdens.With unforgettable moments-from dragon-fueled classroom chaos to a magical showdown where friendship proves stronger than fear-Jamilla and the Autistic Dragon is a heartfelt fantasy adventure for readers ages 8 and up. A story of identity, courage, and connection, it reminds us that sometimes the greatest magic lies in accepting yourself-and those who are different from you-just as you are.
