Description
A lonely dinosaur had one wish: to care for another.
When she saves an injured bird, a friendship begins. Together, they feast, play, and roam a vast and vibrant land.
But when the bright flash of a meteor lights up the sky, the world around them begins to change.
So the dinosaur and the bird make a new wish: for life to continue.
Because hope holds on with a friend by your side.
From award-winning author Richard Ho, and rising star illustrator Jamie Green, comes a gorgeous and heartrending picture book about friendship, loss, and the beauty of an everlasting bond.
