Overview

Little Triceratops wakes up with a big dream-he wants to play soccer! But when doubts creep in, his Mommy reminds him that bravery and practice can overcome any fear. With his family's encouragement, Little Triceratops practices, joins a team, and discovers the joy of learning, making friends, and scoring his very first goal. This heartwarming tale of courage, determination, and fun shows little readers that they can achieve anything they set their minds to! Why We Created the BookAfter noticing our son's apprehension on his first day of soccer practice, we knew we wanted to help him build confidence and enjoy the game as much as he did at home. Almost every night, we spent time together drawing, imagining what Little Dino might do at practice, and talking about our feelings. Week by week, we watched him flourish-his confidence grew, his skills improved, and he started leaving practice with a big smile. Our hope is that The Little TryCeratops series will inspire other kids facing similar challenges to overcome their fears and believe they can achieve anything they set their minds to. And, of course, it's all about dinosaurs-who doesn't love dinosaurs?
