Dive into the world of young Diplo before he became the Jurassic kingdom's best-loved mindfulness master with this brand-new fiction series
Meet Diplo and his best pals, Spike and Mina, as they navigate dinosaur-size firsts and all the big emotions and questions that come along their way.
Diplo is a small dinosaur with very big feelings. He's feeling as jolly as a Gorgosaurus after a perfect morning having a cuddle with his favorite rock, eating yummy Fern Flakes for breakfast, and drawing a comic with his best friend, Mina. But when a new dinosaur joins the school and makes friends with Mina, Diplo's perfect morning turns into the WORST DAY EVER. Luckily, a mindfulness exercise helps him to appreciate his old friend . . . and even make a brand-new one.
