What Reader are Saying: "My 7 year old and I absolutely love this book. The story is very heartwarming and encourages kids to be kind and include other kids, come up with creative solutions and keep looking for true friends that will be there for them no matter what. A great story about friendship. The tips at the end of the book are cute and helpful. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and inspired my 7 year old to find Zoe's website and look through more of her work. We love how Dino starts out grey and gets his colors back as his friendships blossom. We also love that the characters are diverse and my daughter really liked the cool stone wheelchair and the various hairstyles. She was so inspired, she plans to be Dino Deegan for our book week (Australia) and Halloween! We found a dinosaur costume and she's going to wear a tie-dye shirt over it. She also noticed the dogs in the book and we loved that they are the Author's dog and the illustrator's dog who recently passed away. Beautiful book"- Casey Lewis "This is probably one of the best books we read in the last couple of months. And I'm not just saying that because of the main character being a dinosaur, the kids being very diverse, the rhymes flowing beautifully, or the illustrations being magnificent. What we loved most in fact was how the main character and the other kids in the book underwent a significant personal development that was visualised in the book through art (Spoiler: The dino starts out as being grey = mainly invisible to others, and turned colourful towards the end = having found a true friend and recognition for who he is). Overall, a great read that I'll recommend to my sons' preschool and school, respectively." - Dr. Jana Broecker- Author and Scientist Ideal for ages 7, 8 & 9,10, 11 and grades 2-5

Can Max handle the pressures of being the newest member on the team in a sport she's never played?Max always wanted to play the sport of Rugby, so her parents agreed to let her try out the sport.On the first day of practice, Max meets her new teammates and coach, and her anxiety begins to subside...until they run passing drills! Fear grips Max when she suddenly feels she'll struggle to pick up the skills needed to do well and will fail at learning rugby." I just knew it," Max said. "I am bad at this game,I cannot catch or pass, and that makes me feel lame."Will Max be able to tackle, scrum, and kick as good as the other kids on the team?Can her coach, teammates, and family's support be enough to help Max reach her full potential and succeed at this new and unfamiliar sport?"We all work as a team until everything's right,and we'll help you improve till you reach a new height.Max, I've seen you at warm-ups. You run at great speed.With your passing fine-tuned, you'll be just what we need!"Or will her fears get the best of her, causing Max to give up? Written in rhyme, this book will teach children the power of digging deep and finding the super in you to overcome fears and doubts.Included: Rugby Terms and Rules section for young ruggers to learn the game!Readers Agree...This book is the ULTIMATE reading companion!"Love that it shows Max in what is SO normal for kids (and adults) trying new things. Nervous and excited at the same time. It shows how having a support system can really help you through self-doubt. I know this book is about a kid and a sport, but it's really SO much more. Teaching kids to believe in themselves, teaching kids it's okay to feel more than one emotion at a time, teaching other kids to be supportive of others. Love it. And the illustrations are awesome. Great read." Amazon reader"As a rugby coach and a mom, I love this book! It really represents the teamwork needed on a rugby team and the sense of community that a team can provide. It's great that the book includes some rugby rules and how to play. It's a fantastic way to introduce rugby to little future ruggers. My 4-year-old really enjoys the story. The illustrations are really nice too." Amazon reader"This book is a great representation of the fact that rugby is for everyBody. Moreover, it addresses the very real fears of being new to something all while representing a happy young girl playing a contact sport! It is a wonderful showcase of teamwork and how sports help girls gain confidence." Ruth DeMott Ages: 7 to 11, grades 2 to 5Product Size: 8.5" by 8.5"
