Help! This little girl has lost her best friend. Hes a dinosaur (not the extinct kind). Hes enormous (bigger than a panda!).

If only it werent such a clear dayif only it were raining, or snowing, or the leaves were falling, or . . . something.

Reviews

A joyful reunion ensues when the dinosaurs jelly-stained mouth emerges from a meadow that seems to sparkle with flowers, proving that a best friend is usually right where one needs them to be.
Publishers Weekly

With impeccable comedic timing, a small Asian-presenting child with pale skin and straight black hair tied into spiky pigtails explains their predicament. . . .A simple yet charming premise wonderfully executed.
Kirkus Reviews

Gentle pacing and effective page-turns help build suspense. [Yoons] uncluttered mixed-media illustrations have a breeziness that matches the tone of the text, telegraphing to listeners that theres really nothing to worry about. If you know how to look, sometimes the impossible is possible.
