About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing that friends at school or on the playground come from different backgrounds and speak different languages. It is a gentle tool for expanding a preschooler's worldview by showing that while we live in different places, the joy of friendship remains the same. Through Dino Tino's travels, children are introduced to the concept of global citizenship in a way that feels like a playdate rather than a geography lesson. The story follows a friendly dinosaur as he visits international friends in countries like Israel, Mexico, Russia, and Ukraine. It emphasizes core values like empathy, kindness, and curiosity. At just 26 pages, it is perfectly paced for the 3 to 7 age range, making it an excellent choice for parents who want to instill a sense of global belonging and cultural appreciation in their 'little geniuses' through a fun, animal-centric narrative.
