Santiago is a dinosaurio fanatic about to start first grade, but he’s not happy at all. Being the new boy, in a new school, in a new country can be scary. When you add the fact that Santiago is Mexican AND he doesn’t speak English, a dinosaur-sized problem emerges.

It will take perseverance, creativity, and sharing his love for dinosaurios for Santiago to discover a way to belong and make new amigos.
