About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child is starting to compare themselves to friends and feels like they aren't good enough. In this gentle story, Danielle the dinosaur feels sad and left out at preschool. Her friends seem to be better at everything: running faster, building higher, and swinging farther. Danielle believes she'll never be a winner at anything. With the help of her kind teacher, she discovers her own unique talent for drawing, realizing that everyone has something special to offer. This book is a wonderful tool for preschoolers dealing with early feelings of jealousy and inadequacy, offering a comforting message about self-worth and celebrating individual strengths.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book addresses feelings of inadequacy, jealousy, and social comparison. The approach is metaphorical, using dinosaur characters in a preschool setting to explore these very real-world emotions for young children. The treatment is entirely secular, and the resolution is direct, positive, and affirming.
