Baby Dinosaurs: Trixie Faces Her Fear

A band of four amusing and inseparable dino-buddies awaits younger readers to guide them in the exploration of the prehistoric world. Dattila, a baby pterodactyl who is afraid of flying, but finally discovers that soaring through the skies is great fun. Trix, a small triceratops who runs away when she meets a tiny ladybird, finds that they can make friends. Bronto, a mini Brontosaurus who is still too small to be alone, without the protection of his huge father. Rex is a T-Rex in miniature who does not clean his teeth; he receives a very useful toothbrush as a gift. Four dinosaurs become cute and friendly in the illustrations of Marisa Vestita; four friends who will help children face the "small-big" problems of growing up.

Marisa Vestita was born in Taranto in 1975. As a child she insisted that her parents pay for her to have lessons in drawing. She studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts of Lecce and at the same time she did internships in comics, stage design and stage-craft. Always curious about everything regarding the world of images, in 2002 she moved to Milan where she received her first commissions as an illustrator. She shows in major exhibitions throughout Italy. To date, she collaborated with Kalimat, White Star Kids, Pearson, Gribaudo, La Scuola, Gaia Editions, Giunti, Baldini & Castoldi, Dalai Editor and with the magazines Gioia, Psychologies, Linus, Grazia and Natural Style.
