Diplo Dinosaur: Makes a Splash
Join Diplo, Spike, and Mina in a gentle dinosaur story about friendship, jealousy, big feelings, and learning how to make room for someone new.
Diplo is a small dinosaur with very big emotions. His day starts perfectly with a cuddle from his favorite rock, a bowl of Fern Flakes, and time drawing comics with his best friend, Mina. But when a new dinosaur joins school and quickly becomes friends with Mina, Diplo’s perfect morning suddenly feels like the worst day ever.
With a little help from a simple mindfulness exercise, Diplo begins to understand his feelings, appreciate his friendship with Mina, and discover that making a new friend does not mean losing an old one.
Written by Swapna Haddow and illustrated by Yiting Lee, this warm and reassuring story is a wonderful choice for children learning how to manage jealousy, friendship changes, and other big emotions.
