Solar and the Baby Dinosaur - A Secret Friend is a heartwarming and imaginative picture book for toddlers and young children who love dinosaurs, friendship stories, and magical discoveries. Solar, a curious little boy, adores dinosaurs-he reads dinosaur books, plays with dinosaur toys, and dreams of meeting one. One morning, he wakes up to find a real baby dinosaur right in front of him. Is it his imagination, or is it truly happening? Either way, it feels like the start of a wonderful new friendship. Together, they explore, play, and share a gentle adventure filled with kindness, wonder, and the joy of having a secret friend. Perfect as a read-aloud bedtime story or a comforting daytime read, this beautifully illustrated book supports early learning and emotional development for children ages 0-6. Parents, teachers, and caregivers will love its simple storytelling, soothing rhythm, and themes of imagination and friendship. This debut book by Yuko Yamamura-a Jazz French Horn player, composer, and the first Japanese artist to win the John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize-brings musical warmth and creativity to every page. Originally written in Japanese, Solar and the Baby Dinosaur is now available in English, French, Spanish, and Chinese, making it a wonderful option for bilingual families and multicultural classrooms. A perfect gift for toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, and dinosaur-loving children everywhere, this gentle story celebrates curiosity, imagination, and the magic of making a new friend.
