I Will Never Forget You by Tatsuya Miyanishi

5.0

I Will Never Forget You by Tatsuya Miyanishi was a heart-rending read about Tyrannosaurus and a little spinosaurus named Wimpy, two dinosaurs trapped on an island. Wimpy persuades Tyrannosaurus to eat fish instead of him. Then Wimpy softens Tyrannosaurus’s heart by being kind to him. A friendship forms which leads to Tyrannosaurus protecting and comforting Wimpy. Once again Miyanishi captures the story with vivid drawings and a simple color palette. The ever present water is the most pleasant, vibrant shade of blue helping to create a backdrop for all the other characters to pop off the page. I am always amazed by an author who can capture so much emotion in such a simple format as a picture book; Miyanishi manages it with his fable-like story about being a good friend. Add to all this the fact that every time I read one of Miyanishi’s books I learn more about dinosaurs and you have a remarkable book.
