Bertie Brachiosaurus

Reach for this book when your child is feeling like an outsider or is struggling to find their footing in a new environment, such as a new school or neighborhood. It is particularly effective for children who feel their differences make them unapproachable or 'too big' for others to understand. The story follows Bertie, a young Brachiosaurus who finds himself alone and frightened in an unfamiliar world. Despite his size, he feels small and vulnerable until he meets Astin, a young boy who looks past Bertie's prehistoric exterior to offer friendship. It is a gentle exploration of loneliness and the relief of being seen for who you are. Best suited for children ages 3 to 7, this book provides a comforting narrative for those navigating the early social anxieties of making first friends.
