Boy Adventure
A brave adventure about curiosity, confidence and teamwork
When a small green dinosaur loses his way home, six-year-old Noah zips up his yellow explorer jacket, checks his star-shaped compass and flies past three pastel moons to help him — and discovers that brave things are easier when you do them together.

PAGE 1 OF 10
Noah was six years old, which is exactly the right age for hearing a knock at your window at bedtime. Tap-tap-tap. He peeked through the curtain and there, sitting on a cloud, was a small green dinosaur with a very worried face.
PAGE 2 OF 10
“My name is Rufus,” he sniffled, “and I’ve lost my planet.” Noah thought about this carefully. Losing a sock was one thing. Losing a whole planet was a much bigger job. “Then we’ll find it,” he said, even though his tummy felt fluttery.

They built a rocket out of the laundry basket, two lamps and a great deal of imagination. Noah counted down — three, two, one — and the whole bedroom lifted gently off the floor like a balloon let go.

The first moon they passed was pink and it hummed like Nonna Marina’s kitchen radio. “Left at the humming moon,” said Rufus, who was suddenly not sure at all. Noah held his paw. “It’s alright to not be sure. I’ll be sure with you.”

Stardust swished past the window like glitter in a snow globe. Noah opened his hand and caught one warm spark. It felt exactly like being brave feels — small, bright and a little bit ticklish.

But then the rocket sputtered and the map went upside down and Rufus’s tail drooped all the way to the floor. “I always get it wrong,” he whispered. Noah turned the map the right way up. “You got us this far. That’s not wrong at all.”

So they made a plan together. Rufus remembered the smells — warm ferns and rain. Noah remembered the sounds. His nose and Noah’s ears, working as one very good pair of directions.

And there it was: a green and gold planet with a ring around it like a ribbon on a present. Ferns waved. Rain fell in tiny warm drops. Rufus made a sound that was half roar and half giggle.

Fourteen dinosaurs came thundering over the hill, and every single one of them wanted to thank Noah. He stood up tall — taller than he had ever felt — and said, “We did it together.”
PAGE 10 OF 10
That night Noah landed softly back on his own bedroom floor, with fern-smell in his hair and one warm spark still in his pocket. “I was brave-ish,” he told his pillow. And brave-ish, it turns out, is plenty.
