Book Synopsis

After waiting millions of years, a T Rex thinks a curious girl might just find the clues he left behind, making his story part of hers.

It's been millions of years since this dinosaur has been so excited. There's a girl--a curious girl--exploring the land right where he used to live!

Will she be the one to find the clues he left millions of years ago?

Could she be the one to bring his story back to life?!

This lyrical picture book captures the vastness of geologic time while also showing how close the traces of the distant past can be--as long as we are curious enough to look.

Review Quotes

"The author of 2020's clever and engaging Old Rock (Is Not Boring) tackles the theme of geologic time from another angle. . . [The book] ends with an enticing invitation to join in dinosaur research and study. . . An engaging suggestion that hints of the past are there for the finding, if we will but look." --Kirkus
