What if your child could laugh, learn, and grow-all through the pages of one heartfelt story?
Sandra the Beardie: A Boy's Journey to the Pet of His Dreams
is your answer.
Based on a true story, this picture book helps kids build perseverance, problem-solving skills, and a growth mindset-without ever feeling like a lesson.
Meet Archie: a boy with a deep love for dinosaurs, a big imagination, and an even bigger dream. When he learns that dinosaurs are extinct, his wish seems impossible... until a chance discovery of a
Bearded Dragon
changes everything.
With support from his family and a handful of practical tools, Archie turns an impossible dream into reality-and discovers the joy of working hard for something he loves.
For ages 6 to 10,
Sandra the Beardie
incorporates evidence-based strategies that support focus, motivation, organization, and perseverance:
✅ Breaking big goals into smaller, manageable steps.
✅ Using visual reminders to stay on track.
✅ Creating structured schedules and routines.
✅ Making simple lists to boost organization skills.
✅ Engaging in hands-on learning for deeper understanding.
While especially helpful for neurodiverse children (ADHD, ASD), these strategies also empower neurotypical kids-and even adults-to build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong growth mindset.
