Nervous and excited at the same time. It shows how having a support system can really help you through self-doubt. I know this book is about a kid and a sport, but it's really SO much more. Teaching kids to believe in themselves, teaching kids it's okay to feel more than one emotion at a time, teaching other kids to be supportive of others. Love it. And the illustrations are awesome. Great read." Amazon reader"As a rugby coach and a mom, I love this book! It really represents the teamwork needed on a rugby team and the sense of community that a team can provide. It's great that the book includes some rugby rules and how to play. It's a fantastic way to introduce rugby to little future ruggers. My 4-year-old really enjoys the story. The illustrations are really nice too." Amazon reader"This book is a great representation of the fact that rugby is for everyBody. Moreover, it addresses the very real fears of being new to something all while representing a happy young girl playing a contact sport! It is a wonderful showcase of teamwork and how sports help girls gain confidence." Ruth DeMott Ages: 7 to 11, grades 2 to 5Product Size: 8.5" by 8.5"

The story is very heartwarming and encourages kids to be kind and include other kids, come up with creative solutions and keep looking for true friends that will be there for them no matter what. A great story about friendship. The tips at the end of the book are cute and helpful. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and inspired my 7 year old to find Zoe's website and look through more of her work. We love how Dino starts out grey and gets his colors back as his friendships blossom. We also love that the characters are diverse and my daughter really liked the cool stone wheelchair and the various hairstyles. She was so inspired, she plans to be Dino Deegan for our book week (Australia) and Halloween! We found a dinosaur costume and she's going to wear a tie-dye shirt over it. She also noticed the dogs in the book and we loved that they are the Author's dog and the illustrator's dog who recently passed away. Beautiful book"- Casey Lewis"This is probably one of the best books we read in the last couple of months. And I'm not just saying that because of the main character being a dinosaur, the kids being very diverse, the rhymes flowing beautifully, or the illustrations being magnificent. What we loved most in fact was how the main character and the other kids in the book underwent a significant personal development that was visualised in the book through art (Spoiler: The dino starts out as being grey = mainly invisible to others, and turned colourful towards the end = having found a true friend and recognition for who he is). Overall, a great read that I'll recommend to my sons' preschool and school, respectively." - Dr. Jana Broecker- Author and Scientist
