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 *
