What is Rhinos Don't Cry about?

Milo the rhino loves being busy. He writes, climbs, rides his mountain bike, paints and sings. But Milo has been told that rhinos never cry, so he tries hard to hide his feelings. When he finally meets his movie-star hero, Spike-O Mcree, Milo discovers that crying is not something to be ashamed of. In fact, showing how you feel can take real courage. A lively rhyming story about emotions, bravery and learning that everyone needs to let their feelings out sometimes.
