The Worrysaurus

The Waterstones Review

The charming tale of an anxious dinosaur trying to enjoy a special picnic, The Worrysaurus is a comforting guide to vanquishing vexation from the bestselling author of The Lion Inside.  


It's a beautiful day and Worrysaurus has planned a special picnic, but it isn't long before a small butterfly of worry starts fluttering in his tummy.


What if he hasn't brought enough to eat?

What if he gets lost in the jungle?

What if he trips and falls?

What if it rains?

Can Worrysaurus find a way to chase his fears away and have fun? This is the perfect book to help every anxious little dinosaur let go of their fears and feel happy in the moment.

 

I Have a Dream

The Amazon Review

"My father's dream continues to live on from generation to generation, and this beautiful and powerful illustrated edition of his world-changing "I Have a Dream" speech brings his inspiring message of freedom, equality, and peace to the youngest among us - those who will one day carry his dream forward for everyone."

Dr Bernice A King

(Daughter of Dr Martin Luther King Junior)

 

On August 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, during the March on Washington, Martin Luther King gave one of the most powerful and memorable speeches in history.

His words, paired with Kadir Nelson's magnificent paintings, make for a picture book certain to be treasured by children and adults alike. The themes of equality and freedom for all are not only relevant today, fifty years later, but also provide young readers with an important introduction to the recent history of the USA.
