Meet Diplo Dinosaur Wants a Roarsome Friend by Swapna Haddow. Join Diplo and his best pals, Spike and Mina, as they navigate dinosaur-sized firsts and all the big emotions and questions that come along their way.

Diplo is a small dinosaur with very big feelings. He's feeling as jolly as a Gorgosaurus after a perfect morning having a cuddle with his favourite rock, eating yummy Fern Flakes for breakfast, and drawing a comic with his best friend Mina.

But when a new dinosaur joins the school and makes friends with Mina, Diplo's perfect morning turns into the worst day ever. Luckily, a mindfulness exercise helps him to appreciate his old friend... and even make a brand new one.

About the Author

Swapna Haddow is the best-selling author and award-winning funny lady of over 20 books for younger readers. She has won the Sainsbury's Book Award and Sheffield Children's Award, and is the creator of Dave the Pigeon. Originally from the UK, Swapna now lives in New Zealand with her husband, son and dog Archie.

A children's book author and illustrator from Taiwan, based in the UK since 2020, Yiting Lee graduated with a master's in Children's Book Illustration from Cambridge School of Art in 2012. She focuses on picture books, delivering whimsical and unpredictable stories, and likes to keep the story simple and the illustration full because she knows children love looking into those details like she did. In her illustration, she mainly uses watercolour, gouache, ink, colour pencils and whatever else she has newly discovered.
