Welcome to Our Dragon Story

Our Dragon Story is a gentle, nurturing world created to help families begin bonding with their baby long before birth. Through story, imagination, touch and quiet moments of reflection, our books support families in building connection, calm and love. At the heart of Our Dragon Story is a simple belief:


Bonding begins before birth — and every family deserves the tools to make that connection magical.


Rooted in the science of early brain development and inspired by real-life experience working with families across the UK, Our Dragon Story brings together storytelling and creativity to help expectant parents tell their baby, "I loved you before I met you."

Whether through reading aloud, using touch techniques to interact with baby, or simply taking time to pause and reflect, families can create special moments during pregnancy that strengthen bonding and give babies a love-filled start in life.

Bonding Before Birth Matters

Even before they are born, babies are already listening, learning and forming their earliest relationships. The time you spend talking, touching and connecting during pregnancy helps shape your baby’s developing brain and strengthens your emotional wellbeing too. So get ready to fly with Our Dragon Story, and you can:

Build emotional connection and maternal instinct before birth

Reading, talking and interacting with your baby bump helps them learn your voice and feel safe and loved.  These interactions also support your developing 'mum' brain by strengthening neural connections between your brain and your baby. AMAZING!

Support baby’s early brain development

Sound repetition, rhythm and gentle interaction during pregnancy stimulate neural pathways that form the foundation for baby's future learning, language and emotional resilience.

Reduce stress and promote calm

Mindful bonding activities such as belly touch, reading and colouring can lower anxiety and help you feel more grounded and confident.

Prepare for birth & parenthood

Bonding before birth can strengthen parental confidence and support smoother transitions after baby arrives.

Involve the whole family

Siblings, partners and grandparents can join the Dragon Journey — building connection before meeting baby for the first time.

Where Story Meets Science

Our Dragon Story was created with love, imagination and a deep belief in the power of bonding before birth.


Behind Our Dragon Story are the founders of the Pregnancy Bonding Programme who have spent more than 15 years supporting families through Family Hubs, NHS maternity teams and community practitioners across the UK.
