About the Creator

An internationally acclaimed artist, Jody Bergsma is one of America's most accomplished watercolorists. Jody's Dreamkeepers style has been deeply inspired by her visits to Ireland and the sixth century city of Glendalough; her Natural Elements style was inspired by visits to Alaska, the Queen Charlotte Islands, and Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Jody is the author and illustrator of the DragonFire Trilogy (Dragon, Wizard, Faerie) She also illustrated three other books (The Right Touch, Dreambirds, Sky Castle).

Turmoil plagues the kingdom of Lugin as young Queen Arianna ascends the throne. Meanwhile, in a remote corner of the land, young Kevin sets out on a perilous adventure to save his mother from a grave illness. Linked by destiny, it is only through inner strength, determination, and honesty that Queen Arianna’s reign and Kevin’s mother can both be saved. “You must believe in yourself and your purposes,” he advises the queen, “or you will not succeed.”

The second installment in the DragonFire Series, Jody Bergsma’s Wizard is a magical tale, complete with goblins, dragons, and an ancient prophecy about trusting oneself even in the face of great fear. Featuring Bergsma’s Celtic-inspired illustrations, this enchanting picture book will delight fantasy-loving children again and again.

Wizard won the Coalition of Visionary Resources Award for Best Children’s Book and was a finalist for ForeWord Magazine’s Award for Best Children’s book, as well as several other awards.
