A Lawrence boy has published his first book.
Ten-year-old Nick TenPas is autistic, and his parents say all his therapy focuses on the prehistoric creatures.
His parents say he's practically an encyclopedia on dinosaurs.
The Dino Pals
Listen to a reading of "Trouble at the Museum" by Nick TenPas and paraeducator Sharon Scafe.
Four months ago, Nick asked a para-educator for help on writing a book about dinosaurs.
What started as one book quickly became two, and then three, and soon there was a whole series of books about the "Dino Pals."
