DEAR READER: Bronto the Brachiosaurus discovered that kindness creates ripples! When you do something kind, it doesn't stop there—it spreads and spreads, touching more hearts than you can imagine. And sometimes, those ripples come back to you in beautiful ways!
YOUR TURN TO CREATE KINDNESS RIPPLES: Do ONE act of kindness today and see what happens! Draw or write about it!
QUESTIONS TO EXPLORE TOGETHER:
Bronto gave berries to Flutter, and it created a chain reaction. Can you describe all the kind acts that happened because of that one berry-sharing?
When have YOU done something kind for someone? Did you notice if it created ripples (did that person then help someone else)?
At the end, Bronto was tired and hungry. How did the other dinosaurs show kindness back to her?
Elder Bronto says "kindness multiplies." What does that mean?
ACTIVITIES TO TRY:
Kindness Ripple Experiment: Do something kind and track how many people it affects (ask family to notice!)
Kindness Chain: Make a paper chain where each link represents one kind act by family members
Height Helper: Like Bronto, what could YOU reach or do that would help someone smaller or shorter?
Thank You Notes: Write notes to people who have been kind to you (spreading ripples back!)
DID YOU KNOW? REAL BRACHIOSAURUS FACTS!
Brachiosaurus means "Arm Lizard" because their front legs were longer than back legs!
They could reach heights of 40-50 feet tall—as high as a 4-story building!
Brachiosaurus could weigh up to 80 tons—as much as 12 elephants!
Their hearts were HUGE (over 400 pounds!) to pump blood all the way up that long neck
They ate about 400 pounds of plants EVERY DAY! That's a lot of reaching!
Brachiosaurus lived about 155-140 million years ago during the Jurassic period
Their nostrils were on top of their head, not at the end of their snout!
COMING SOON IN DINO VALLEY: Meet Petra the Pteranodon! She's the only flying dinosaur in Dino Valley—but she's terrified of heights! When friends need help from above, can Petra overcome her fear and discover that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's flying anyway?
