Introduction:
Every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued — and few characters embody that better than Reggie Rapasaurus. Created by Stacey Roberts, Reggie is more than a fun dinosaur — he’s a gentle guide for young readers, showing them how to be kind, inclusive, and curious about the world.
Why Kindness Matters in Early Childhood
Studies show that children who practice empathy, cooperation, and emotional regulation tend to thrive both academically and socially. But these skills aren’t taught in textbooks — they’re learned through modelling and experience.
In Anna and Reggie Rapasaurus, Reggie and Anna model everyday kindness — from making friends at the beach to asking thoughtful questions at the museum. Their stories invite children to reflect on how their actions affect others.
A Dinosaur with Heart
What makes Reggie special is his ability to connect with kids. In real-life story sessions, children often speak directly to Reggie, confiding in him or asking questions. This unique bond helps children build trust and practice communication in a safe, playful environment.
Stacey’s Mission
Reggie was born from Stacey’s years of literacy outreach, where he witnessed the impact of storytelling on children’s emotional development. With Reggie, he created a tool that opens conversations about feelings, fairness, and belonging.
A Lesson for Grownups Too
When we read with children, we have a chance to model listening, patience, and joy. Reggie reminds adults that literacy is not just about letters — it’s about connection.
