The cutest little dinosaur you'll ever meet. Beautifully illustrated ... a warm and tender story. * Chris Haughton, creator of A Little Bit Lost * A sweet, warm story of finding a place in the world and being content in the here and now, prehistoric style. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub * The beauty of what she has grown into is someone unique to those around her, which is just as it should be. -- Samantha Thomas * BookBound * The artwork is absolutely stunning! I love watercolour and the palette in soft shades of pastel tones makes the story even sweeter if that's possible. * Thekidsbookstagram on Instagram * A tender, life-affirming hug of a book, illustrated in Ella Bailey's beautiful trademark style. * @thelittleliterarysociety on Instagram * A delightful tale for dinosaur fans with stunning illustrations and pastel hues. -- Sharing.the.shelf on Instagram [This read] will help littles ones appreciate their size while they're still small. * @littlecubliteracy on Instagram * [This read] will help littles ones appreciate their size while they're still small. * @littlecubliteracy on Instagram * This book is simply stunning. It tells of a tiny dinosaur trying to find out who they are and what makes them special. The story is packed with charm and is thoroughly engaging. it also gives a great message to our young readers. The illustration for this book is wonderful and is now one of my most favourite illustrated books ever. The colour palette is so lovely and the characterisation is completely adorable, Ella captures so much emotion within this book. I also particularly enjoy that within every page there are so many details and background dinosaurs, that when reading with a child you can point out and talk about so many different things. This book would be the perfect gift for any child and I cannot wait to see what else will come from Ella. -- Lizzie Ryan * Waterstones Bookseller Review * This book is just so beautiful! With gorgeous illustrations and a heartwarming message about learning who you are and your place in the world, I would not hesitate to recommend this stunning book as a gift. -- Rachel * Waterstones Bookseller Review *
