Little Dinosaurs, Big Feelings:
10 Mindful Stories

Little Dinosaurs, Big Feelings

Doctor Diplo is the Jurassic kingdom’s best-loved therapist. Meet him and ten of his Jurassic friends: Steggie the angry dinosaur, Rex the scared dinosaur, Bruno the sad dinosaur, Minka the happy dinosaur, Poppy the lonely dinosaur, Percy the shy dinosaur, Terrie the excited dinosaur, Trev the overwhelmed dinosaur, Iggy the bored dinosaur and Nino the content dinosaur.

Hear their stories, and discover how to navigate different emotions with simple mindfulness tools and exercises told through ten read-aloud stories demonstrating tools to help navigate different emotions. Each story provides an opportunity to open up conversations about feelings in a gentle and approachable way with a simple mindfulness exercise designed with the help of child psychologist Amber Owen to accompany each story.

Written by best-selling, prize-winning author Swapna Haddow, with calming, sweet illustrations from Yiting Lee, this is the perfect book to help every little person master their big feelings.
