ABOUT THE BOOK:

Mitchell and Nyamka found inspiration for Milo the Little Dino’s Adventures from their son, Logan, who loves dinosaurs and enjoys learning their names with his dad. 

Their book features two stories with bright characters and fun rhymes, encouraging kids to explore nature, embrace who they are, and build confidence. 

In Story 1, Milo’s Little Garden, Milo discovers the joys of gardening and exploring nature, while learning to care for plants and embrace the outdoors. 

In Story 2, Milo's Journey Across the Land, Milo sets off on an adventure to visit his cousins, enjoying the time while his parents learn to handle the challenge of him being away from home for the first time.

Through Milo the Little Dino’s Adventures, children also learn to be brave and independent, especially when they face conflicts or feel homesick, offering a comforting message for both kids and parents.
