The Story Behind the Song: Nicholas & Avery Sparks

Long before there were microphones or melodies to record, Nicholas Sparks and his daughter Avery shared something even more powerful — imagination. When Avy was just a little girl, bedtime in their house wasn’t just a routine; it was a stage. A stage for made-up songs, silly voices, and stories that spilled out like giggles under the covers.

One evening, as stars blinked above their roof and stuffed animals gathered around, a story began to take shape in their song. It was about a baby dragon named George — nervous, kind, and curious — who was afraid of everything, even his own little puff of smoke. But as the verses unfolded, George began to discover bravery wasn’t about being fearless, but about taking one small step anyway. That night, “George the Baby Dragon” was born — a tale woven in love, laughter, and lullabies.

For Nicholas and Avery, storytelling became their shared language — a way to process the hard days, celebrate the joyful ones, and remind each other that even dragons need hugs sometimes. Through songs and stories, they’ve learned to embrace life’s valleys and victories with the same wide-eyed wonder. And through it all, they’ve kept singing — not for perfection, but for connection.

Today, Nicholas and Avy are still sharing their made-up songs and heartfelt stories — not just with each other, but with little boys and girls everywhere. Their mission is simple: to spark imagination, inspire courage, and sprinkle a little joy wherever their voices are heard.

Because when your heart is grateful, and your hands are open, there’s always a song worth sharing.
