A tiny bird discovers her inner dinosaur and learns to roar in this sweet story about remembering where you came from

When little Dee is harassed by the neighborhood hawk, Mama tells her that her 20-million-times great-great-great-grandmother was an enormous dinosaur named Granny Rex and that Granny Rex still lives in Dee's feathers and bones. It's true: Not only did birds descend from dinosaurs, but they are related to the Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the mightiest dinosaurs of all! "Never forget," says Mama to her little bird, "that you are a dinosaur." Dee discovers she might be small, but she is mighty.

Kurtis Scaletta is the author of several novels for young readers, as well as the Topps League Story series published by Abrams. This is his first picture book. Nik Henderson is an illustrator with a background in animation. He lives in Missouri. Goofy birds (#8) and dinosaurs (#38) made it to his list, "Nik Henderson's Top 100 Things to Draw."
