“Today. Is. Dinosaur. Day!” I roared.
“Today is Aunt Daisy’s wedding,” said Mum. “And Nellie, you’re the flower girl, remember?”
“But I can’t be a flower girl today,” I said. “I’m a dinosaur.”

Why Can’t I be a Dinosaur? is a warm family story about determination and ingenuity – and a wedding with a difference.
