The wobblysaurus

DinoFeelings

by Rachel Bright

Ein Fahrrad! Das hat Purzelsaurus sich schon lange gewünscht. Aber warum ist es bloß so schwierig, damit zu fahren? Bei den anderen sieht es schließlich ganz einfach aus. Doch jedes Mal, wenn Purzelsaurus aufsteigt und losfährt, landet sie – PLUMPS – auf dem Boden.

Da kommt Omasaurus angeradelt. Sie erinnert sich noch gut an die Zeit, als sie selbst ein kleiner Purzelsaurus war. Und sie weiß: Ohne Hinpurzeln geht es nicht, wichtig ist nur, dass man wieder aufsteht und es noch mal versucht!

About the author

Rachel is a writer of words, drawer of pictures and champion of silver linings. She exhibits widely, writes tirelessly and frequently creates slightly unhinged characters.

Her written work includes children’s stories and poems, clever advertising copy and lots of other stuff besides. Her illustrative work is a smorgasboard of giant, hand-printed poems, mind-bogglingly detailed gouache illustrations and a cacophony of quirky prints and etchings.

She explores the lovliness of words and the magic of pictures, revelling in a world of jam-eating miniature bears and other made-up animals.

Her work aims to capture a free way of thinking - one which makes you feel anything is possible, a feeling all too easily lost with the end of childhood. When we’re all grown-up, sometimes we just need a little nudge to remember it’s been there all along.

*Rachel has also been an air hostess, a garden designer and a lifeguard. She often runs a really long way and was once invited to the selection of the British ultra running team. She also once won a date with Man of the millennium and has been trying to live it down ever since.

Wobblysaurus is so cute. A wonderful message as well. It's ok to be a beginner. Keep trying.

No I’m not crying just sweating from my eyes

“You see,” said Granny gently
“all the BEST things take a while,
And we’re all on one big journey,
NOT a race!” she wisely smiled.

There is something incredibly appealing about Rachel Bright’s books. Written in rhyme and accompanied by beautiful illustrations, they contain simple but significant messages. This one is about the importance of not giving up when we are finding things difficult, and the ways in which other people can support us.

Wobblysaurus kept my three-year-old grandson fully occupied and engaged on a half hour train journey - and I think the adults around us were secretly enjoying it as well!

The grannysaurus was my most favorite part! Such a cute story about trying something new and practicing when you aren’t the best. I love the emphasis on resilience and bouncing back!

Dinossauros, bicicletas e Avós... a combinação perfeita para falar sobre o poder de acreditar em si mesmo e a importância de ter quem acredite em nós.
