This is a story about Maxwell and his trusted friend, Stego the dinosaur stuffy. Maxwell was an able boy. However, sometimes he doubted his own abilities. When he wasn't sure if he could do something, he didn't want to try. He let others do things for him. But deep down, Maxwell wanted to believe he was capable. He wished he had the confidence to overcome his doubts. Then one day, Maxwell was magically transformed into Stego, the dinosaur stuffy. After a series of adventures living the life of Stego, Maxwell learned to see differently and realize his true capability.


This story follows Maxwell through a series of events he experiences after taking the form of his favorite stuffy, Stego the dinosaur. Not being able to do anything for himself anymore, Maxwell gains a new perspective on his own abilities. Not only does he realize the life of a stuffy isn't as great as he once thought, he learns a valuable lesson about the importance of trying.


Maxwell and the Dinosaur Dream is a fantastic journey with an important message for anyone who has doubted their abilities or has let fear hold them back. The story is intended for children but carries an important lesson for all ages.
