About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is balancing high-energy excitement with a need for focus, or if they are navigating the responsibility of being an older sibling during a big event. This charming chapter book follows Lola Levine as she navigates Dinosaur Week at school, where she discovers that her scientific curiosity and artistic talents are the perfect team. It is an ideal bridge for children moving into longer narratives, offering a relatable look at school life, sibling dynamics, and the intersection of different interests. The story beautifully handles the 'big feelings' of a field trip, from the thrill of the Museum of Natural History to the mild anxiety of getting lost. Parents will appreciate Lola's multi-ethnic background (Peruvian and Jewish) which is woven naturally into her identity. It is a warm, encouraging read for ages 6 to 9 that celebrates intellectual curiosity and family bonds.
