Description
When a little girl and her mum discover some dinosaur footprints on the beach - one set small, one set large - they wonder who they could have belonged to...
"Come, Little Dino, the world is so wide. The safe place for you, is here by my side..."
Little Dino loves exploring the wide world with Mama, but when they get separated by a storm, can he be brave and find the way back to her side?
Perhaps the kindness of others, and some clues in the sand, will help to lead Little Dino home...
A reassuring and beautifully illustrated celebration of the unbreakable parent-child bond. Written by Hollie Hughes, author of The Girl and the Dinosaur, with artwork from award-winning illustrator Ben Mantle.
Inspired by real dinosaur footprints on the Isle of Skye in Scotland!
