About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing the typical butterflies that come with transitions, specifically the start of a new school year or a change in routine. It is designed for children who feel a little small in the face of big changes, offering a gentle mirror for their own internal worries through the relatable lens of a dinosaur sibling duo. The book consists of three short stories that navigate the realities of school life: the first-day jitters, the pride of learning new things, and the social dynamics of the classroom. With its early reader format, it builds self-confidence not just through its themes of bravery and persistence, but also through its accessible language that empowers new readers to finish a whole book on their own. It is a comforting, secular tool for normalizing the 'scary' parts of growing up.
