“How are you feeling today?”
Listening to the story of our dinosaur friends
Let's give my feelings a name too!

Consisting of ten chapters, “Welcome to Dr. Dinosaur’s Counseling Center” features a dinosaur friend in each chapter.
Veteran counselor Dr. Diplo gently leads the conversations of the dinosaur friends who come to him, helping them to open up honestly about their inner feelings and finding clues to their emotions.
Dr. Diplo gives each dinosaur a name that perfectly suits its emotions—anger, rage, sadness, fear, excitement, happiness, etc.—and explains the characteristics of each emotion and how to best handle them.
The doctor's every word, which affectionately touches the complex emotions of the dinosaurs, warms the hearts of the readers.
So, as readers follow the conversation between Dr. Diplo and his dinosaur friends, they will gain the courage to face their true feelings head-on by asking themselves, "What am I feeling right now?"


As in this book, practicing accepting emotions as they are and finding the right name for them, rather than suppressing or ignoring them, can be a good emotional guide for children who have difficulty expressing their emotions.
In particular, this book makes full use of the genre characteristics of graphic novels to effectively visualize nonverbal expressions such as facial expressions and gestures, making it even more beneficial for children who have difficulty expressing their emotions in words to intuitively understand complex emotions.
Young readers will develop self-awareness and emotional growth through stories about adorable dinosaur friends who are just like them, and even the hearts of others.

Ten Wise Emotions Guide for Children Who Have Trouble Expressing Their Feelings

Children who experience many things for the first time are bound to have difficulty dealing with their emotions.
The same goes for the dinosaur friends in this book.
Stegi, a Stegosaurus who is disappointed when his picnic is ruined by sudden rain, Rex, a Tyrannosaurus who is afraid of the dark, Poppy, who is awkward and unfamiliar with her new place, and Nino, a Spinosaurus who is happy with his own appearance.
"Welcome to Dr. Dinosaur's Counseling Center" tells the story of ten dinosaurs who visit a cave counseling center to understand their emotions and learn the right ways to deal with them. The book's most notable feature is that it doesn't categorize emotions as "good" or "bad," but rather treats all emotions as natural and normal feelings.
This book also focuses on emotions that are generally considered negative, such as anger, fear, sadness, shame, and boredom, rather than positive emotions like happiness or satisfaction. It emphasizes that it is more important to accurately identify and wisely manage the emotions you feel rather than suppressing or ignoring them, no matter how uncomfortable they may be. At the end of each chapter, it presents ten mindfulness methods to healthily resolve those emotions, along with the changes in body and mind that occur when you feel a specific emotion.

Introducing unique dinosaur characters that will help children develop emotional stability and resilience!

Dr. Diplo says it's okay to feel negative emotions, but you should always strive to maintain a balanced emotional state because if you get too caught up in one emotion, like Terry the Pteranodon, who was so caught up in the anticipation of his birthday that he couldn't focus on anything else, you can get caught up in your own thoughts and miss everything else.
He also tells the story of Minka, an ankylosaurus who has a close bond with her grandmother, and says that even when feeling positive emotions like happiness, we must constantly practice mindfulness to preserve those emotions for a long time.
Meanwhile, through the story of Nino, a Spinosaurus who feels happy about his own appearance, this book shows that even positive emotions such as self-satisfaction can sometimes be mistaken for negative emotions due to the gaze of others, and also points out that emotions are much more complex and multi-layered than we think.
This contains the philosophy that 'emotions' are not momentary feelings but are deeply connected to one's attitude towards life.


This book reminds us that the power to acknowledge and care for all our emotions comes from within ourselves.
When they feel sad because their grandmother left them, when they are too busy to do what they need to do, when they suddenly look bad in the way they see themselves every day, the situations that the dinosaur friends find themselves in and the emotions they feel in those situations are similar to the emotions that young readers often feel in their daily lives.
Dr. Diplo gently tells me that none of the emotions I feel are wrong, whether it's wanting to cry, feeling angry, or feeling small.
At the same time, it stands by the reader's side, presenting specific psychological strategies such as breathing techniques and positive visualization to strengthen positive emotions and recover from negative emotions.
This book goes beyond simply teaching children how to express their emotions appropriately; it fosters emotional stability and resilience at a child's level.
