Description

As 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!
