David Klochko
David Klochko is a first-time children’s book author and father of one. Inspired by his daughter, David began writing “Fly High Baby Dragon” to help her understand the importance of practice and patience. Growing up, and often into adulthood, David also struggled with the concept of perseverance in the face of difficult tasks. He hopes that both kids and parents can find the same inspiration that he has found in “Fly High Baby Dragon”, so that they too can try something new and fly high.
