Time travel. Dinosaurs roaming school corridors. Gigantic creatures in chemistry labs and library aisles. On the surface, it feels like an epic prehistoric prank. But beneath the roars and stomps hides a deeper question: what happens when we face the unfamiliar head-on?
In Sochu’s story, Raju walks into a school taken over by dinosaurs. His fear bubbles, his imagination explodes—and then, the surprise unfolds. The prehistoric beasts are just costumes. Dinosaur Day is a reminder: sometimes, the monsters we dread are simply new experiences in disguise.
The real lesson? Courage isn’t about erasing fear; it’s about roaring louder than your doubts, just like Raju in his dino suit. Let these breadcrumbs guide your family through playful ways to face the unknown and transform fear into curiosity.
