★ “A beautiful and encouraging picture book. This is the book young readers will need to face their fears and to build self confidence. If you are in the market for a book with this kind of theme, then look no more." – Reedsy Discovery Review ★

Nino is the bravest platypus in Animalandia—at least in his dreams. During his waking hours, Nino has a hard time believing in himself. Luckily, his situation is about to change when a magic genie decides to help him. In this fun and inspiring story, children will learn along with Nino that they can become more confident—even without a magical genie by their side.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Just like Magici
    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022

    I liked the intro and the story up to the time the platypus looked back the first time to see the genie. For me the storyline kind of became limper., especially after the second chance and second glance backwards. Good ideas, just a stronger storyline for me.
