Dive into the world of young Diplo before he became the Jurassic kingdom's best loved mindfulness master with this brand new fiction series.
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.
