Reach for this book when your child is hesitant to engage in sensory play, avoids getting their clothes dirty, or feels anxious about joining a group activity that seems a bit messy. It is a gentle tool for validating the feelings of children who prefer to stay clean and cautious while showing them the joy they might be missing on the sidelines. The story follows Danielle, a young dinosaur at preschool, who watches her friends splash and play in a mud puddle. While she initially feels superior and safe in her cleanliness, the infectious joy of her peers eventually helps her overcome her sensory aversion. It is a perfect choice for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5) who are navigating social pressure and sensory boundaries in a school setting.
