But when doubts creep in, his Mommy reminds him that bravery and practice can overcome any fear. With his family's encouragement, Little Triceratops practices, joins a team, and discovers the joy of learning, making friends, and scoring his very first goal. This heartwarming tale of courage, determination, and fun shows little readers that they can achieve anything they set their minds to!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy We Created the Book\u003cp\u003eAfter noticing our son's apprehension on his first day of soccer practice, we knew we wanted to help him build confidence and enjoy the game as much as he did at home. Almost every night, we spent time together drawing, imagining what Little Dino might do at practice, and talking about our feelings. Week by week, we watched him flourish-his confidence grew, his skills improved, and he started leaving practice with a big smile. Our hope is that The Little TryCeratops series will inspire other kids facing similar challenges to overcome their fears and believe they can achieve anything they set their minds to. And, of course, it's all about dinosaurs-who doesn't love dinosaurs?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbout the Authors and Illustrator\u003cp\u003eAndrew (Drew) Petersen, born and raised in Grinnell, Iowa, attended Iowa State University, where he earned his Bachelor of Architecture degree and met his wife, Gladys.
