A bashful dinosaur enlists her friends and the audience to help her overcome her shyness and find her voice just in time for the annual Dino Day Talent Show. Her friend, Thunder Roar Rex discovers that he doesn't need to be loud to feel good about himself, and Bobby the beat-boxing Brontosaurus realizes that he doesn't need to have all the answers all the time. Together, they learn how to work as a team to put on a great talent show.
Join Michael, Octavia Field Library Branch's Children's Librarian, for an hour of nursery rhymes, storytelling, arts & crafts and playtime.
