Bookroo's summary

Tyrone, a young dinosaur, faces pressure to follow paths others choose for him—dentist, lawyer, or athlete. None spark joy until he meets a powerful dinosaur who dances. Inspired, Tyrone dares to chase his own dream. Will he find the courage to dance against all odds? Discover a heartwarming tale of following one's passion and the unexpected support that makes it possible.

From the publisher

In a follow-up to the beloved Brontorina, a young dinosaur finds unexpected support for his secret dream: to defy expectations and become a dancer. Tyrone has a dream. But it seems like everyone else has their own dream for Tyrone. Should he be a dentist? A lawyer? A football player like his brother Johnny? None of these things make Tyrone happy. But then he meets the strongest dinosaur he’s ever seen, who inspires him to follow his own heart and become a dancer–like her. The creators of Brontorina reunite for a captivating companion story about a young dinosaur who, with a little love and encouragement, finds the courage to dance his way into his dreams.
