Trexy isn't like the other dinosaurs and he just wants to fit in for who he is.
Join Trexy (a little Tyrannosaurus Rex) in his journey to Dinoham School where he meets Bully Bronto (a big, mean Brontosaurus) and follow his adventure of self acceptance and standing up for being different.
T-Rexs are typically big and scary, but Trexy is short, wears glasses and can't roar! This relatable picture book will teach children about how to face adversity, and will let them know that they aren't alone.

Beautiful message and fantastic illustrations. This is a difficult, relateable subject that has been handled really well by the author. My son loved it and was really engaged all the way through by both the story and the colourful artwork. I highly recommend this.
