In the twilight of the dinosaurs, an old triceratops saves an injured bird, sparking an unexpected friendship. As a meteor threatens their vibrant world, they wish for life to endure. Can hope and companionship defy the inevitable?

From the publisher

A poignant, powerful picture book about an old triceratops who befriends a prehistoric bird during the last days of the dinosaurs, perfect for fans of The Land Before Time and Big Cat, Little Cat. A lonely dinosaur had one wish: to care for another. When she saves an injured bird, a friendship begins. Together, they feast, play, and roam a vast and vibrant land. But when the bright flash of a meteor lights up the sky, the world around them begins to change. So the dinosaur and the bird make a new wish: for life to continue. Because hope holds on with a friend by your side. From award-winning author Richard Ho and rising star illustrator Jamie Green, comes a gorgeous and heartrending picture book about friendship, loss, and the beauty of an everlasting bond.
