The Secrets
Names with a dotted underline open a card. Story guide ↗
Time travelers, here’s some tips I’ve learned.
- When you’re about to time travel, take deep breaths. It helps to stay calm.
- Find something that grounds you in the present, like a favorite toy or a photo.
- Talk to someone you trust about your travels; sharing helps reduce the stress.
- Practice relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation. They really help.
And Dinos - I know you’re out there - so here’s a few things for you.
- When I’m cave-kidding around, don’t threaten me with taking away stuff. That just gets more cave-kid action.
- Keep it cool… no anger, sadness or even laughing. I’m not into feeling any of that stuff right now.
- In fact, just keep your space. Don’t come at me, or I’ll fight ya.
- If I’m breaking stuff, try to keep it to things that don’t matter so much like cardboard boxes. Take away any of that new technology, because cave-kid has no need for that.
- And lastly, don’t take anything I say too personally - cave-kid tends to get carried away and doesn’t always understand all the things they say.

- structurePage breaks and illustrations still to come
The text runs as two blocks of prose. It hasn't been broken into spreads or paired with art notes yet, and at about 1,000 words it's long for a picture book, so the page breaks will decide what gets trimmed.
- continuitySpelling and capitals vary
"cave kid" and "cave-kid" both appear, as do "dinosaurs" and "Dinos." Capitals drift in the opening ("Computers, Tablets, Self-Driving cars," "a Pirate"), and "1970's" should be "1970s." Settle one style before layout.
