About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses interest in a hobby or dream that feels at odds with their peers or your family's expectations. Tyrone O'Saurus Dreams is a gentle, encouraging story about a young dinosaur who feels the weight of everyone else's plans for him. While his brother plays football and others suggest career paths in law or dentistry, Tyrone secretly longs to dance. This story provides a beautiful opening to discuss self-identity and the importance of finding your own joy, regardless of what is considered normal for your size or social group. Ideal for children ages 4 to 8, this book uses humor and heart to validate the feelings of children who might feel like a square peg in a round hole. It is particularly powerful for boys or children in sports-heavy environments who harbor artistic interests. By the end, parents will find a wonderful model for how to offer support and encouragement, while children will see that strength and grace can exist in the same person.
