An absolute ball to read aloud, Hannah Peckham’s Bronty's Battle Cry brims with a joyous message about celebrating individual talents as it sings (quite literally!) with the personality of a brontosaurus who overcomes self-doubt to find an infectious sense of self-worth. If that wasn’t enough, Hanna Tkachenko’s illustrations blend adorability and energy to engaging effect, plus the book shares ideas for how to enhance positivity in little ones.
When the dinosaur tribes gather to show off their bravery by roaring as loud as they can, bijou Bronty is beset by big worries. For Bronty, “Loud noise was confusing/the herd could be frightening/like the rumbles and bangs/of thunder and lightning”.
In contrast, Bronty has a unique talent: “You see, Bronty was special, for he loved lullabies/His voice sang in harmonies, not battle cries.” Bronty can also hear what the other dinosaurs are thinking, which is what enables him to realise that everyone has their own fears, no matter how loud they roar. As a result, Bronty sings a celebratory song that encourages everyone to “belt out your story”.
