What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

This evocative, beautifully illustrated picture book celebrates one girl’s limitless imagination, perfect for fans of the Fan Brothers. Anything is possible and nothing’s as it seems . . . In a town by the seaside, Marianne is often seen digging for buried treasure on the beach. One day, she finds the most wonderful treasure of all–a dinosaur skeleton! That night, Marianne makes a wish upon a star that her dinosaur will come to life. She wishes it with all her heart–and it comes true. Together, Marianne’s adventures with her new friend are limited only by their imagination. This enchanting picture book will take you on a magical journey far beyond the page.
