About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels boxed in by social expectations or is struggling to reconcile different parts of their personality. It is the perfect antidote to the pressure of being just one thing, whether that is being polite and 'ladylike' or being loud and energetic. Princess Dinosaur is a charming protagonist who refuses to choose between her glittery crown and her roaring, stomping instincts. Through a series of playful scenarios, the story explores identity and self-confidence. It demonstrates that being a 'princess' is a state of mind that can coexist with the messy, wild fun of being a 'dinosaur.' Geared toward children aged 4 to 8, this book is an excellent choice for fostering self-acceptance and showing kids that their complexity is their greatest strength.
