The special trust and bonds between daddy and son are beautifully and touchingly explored in Michelle Robinson’s new book. The little dinosaur who narrates follows closely in his daddy’s footsteps, feeling safe next to him in a busy world. His daddy is so big it makes him proud, but he really wants to make Daddy proud of him too and his confidence is boosted when Daddy tells him he’ll keep growing and learning all the time. With that reassurance he is able to cope with his worries and feel safe in the knowledge that even in the future when he’s grown up and the stronger one, he’ll be able to look after them both.
The text is simple and reassuring but contains serious, subtle and important life lessons. The gorgeous dinosaur setting created by Paddy Donnelly glows with colour and detail and it’s a gorgeous book to share with little ones.
A celebration of amazing dads with a prehistoric setting from multi-award-winning author Michelle Robinson, and with breathtaking illustrations from Paddy Donnelly.

Michelle Robinson grew up in Gloucestershire and loved making up stories and being silly. She put that to good use by getting a job as a copywriter. She wrote over 6000 radio adverts before moving on to television and the web and devised websites for big brands like Coca-Cola, Guinness and Cadburys. She soon got bored though, which is when she started writing funny stories for children and their parents to enjoy reading umpteen times. Her picture book There's a Lion in My Cornflakes won the Sainsbury's Children's Book Awards. Michelle lives in Frome with her husband, young son and daughter and a tragically empty tin of Quality Street.
