School Library Journal - 10/01/2023 K-Gr 3—In this sweet story, a young bird learns to find confidence from dinosaur ancestors. Little Dee tells their mama that they do not like being small and bullied. Mama responds by telling Little Dee all about their "sixty-million times great-great-great grandmother" Granny Rex. Little Dee and Mama go back and forth asking and answering questions about Granny Rex's size as well as her temperament. Little Dee finds encouragement from Mama's story and uses the confidence gained to stand up against bullying birds. The bold strokes and subtle shading in the beautiful illustrations bring this story to life. VERDICT A heartwarming story, recommended for purchase.—Maria Graybosch - Copyright 2023 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
