Hi, my name is Ethan Solace-an interdisciplinary psychologist and a dad.
Picture books are often the first place children meet the wider world... but we rarely stop to ask who is shaping those first ideas, and what lasting impression they might leave behind. That’s why I wrote The Big Questions series: to create exciting, accessible books on big topics-written with real child development and engagement in mind-so we can spark curiosity without talking down to young readers.
What were dinosaurs... and are they really gone forever?
Step into a breathtaking prehistoric world where the ground trembles under giant footsteps, strange creatures rule the skies and seas, and every page feels like a cinematic journey back in time. The Big Questions: What Are Dinosaurs?is a fact-packed, story-rich dinosaur book for kids (ages 5-12) that blends wonder, science, and discovery-perfect for independent reading, bedtime read-alouds, and classroom learning.
Inside you’ll explore the most famous dinosaurs and the biggest mysteries of paleontology, including:
Tyrannosaurus rex (T. rex) - built to crush bone
Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Brachiosaurus - mighty defenders and gentle giants
Velociraptor - fast, clever... and surprisingly feathered
Spinosaurus - the giant hunter that ruled the rivers
Prehistoric rulers beyond dinosaurs: flying reptiles and powerful ocean predators
The moment everything changed: the asteroid impact, mass extinction, and what survived
This engaging children’s nonfiction adventure introduces key STEM ideas-fossils, habitats, food chains, adaptation, evolution, and extinction-in a way that feels clear, thrilling, and unforgettable. Ideal for homeschool, science projects, classroom libraries, and any child who loves dinosaurs, nature history, and discovering how the world works.
And the biggest surprise of all? Dinosaurs didn’t completely disappear. Look up at the sky... and you might spot one.
Open the book and travel to the Age of Dinosaurs-then discover the living dinosaurs still here today.
