A Story in a Line

Do you ever think about all the things you do in a day. First, you wake up and stretch like a sleepy cat. Next, you eat your yummy breakfast. Then you play with your toys. At the very end of the day, you snuggle into your warm bed. I help put all those things in order, just like pretty beads on a string. I can hold a picture of you as a tiny baby, then a picture of you when you learned to walk, and a picture of you now, so big and strong. I keep all your special moments in a row.

So, what am I. Hello. I am a Timeline. I’m a very special line that tells a story. People can draw me on paper and put little marks on me. The marks show what happened first, what came next, and what happened last. I help everyone remember important things, like the day a little seed was planted or the day you learned to ride your bike. I am the story of YOU, all lined up so you can see how much you have grown.

I don't just tell your story. I can tell super-duper old stories from long, long ago, like when big dinosaurs stomped on the earth. Roar. I can also help you get excited for fun things that are coming soon, like your birthday party or a happy holiday. I connect all the yesterdays with today and all the tomorrows. I am a path made of happy memories and exciting dreams, helping you see where you have been and all the wonderful places you will go.
