How Did Cavemen Cut Their Toenails?
Life for kids 400,000 years ago was perhaps a simpler time, when they could lay out and stare at the stars. In this imaginative comparison of life then and now, written by children for children, their daily routines and the world around them are questioned with humor and insight.Sparked by the curiosity of two brothers, Alek and Max, this book was borne from questions that arose in their daily routines. One morning while Alek was getting a pedicure from his mother, he asked, "How did cavemen cut their toenails?" A week into the COVID-19 lockdown while eating breakfast, Max, staring at his cereal, wondered, "Did cavemen have to go to school?"During the pandemic and school closures, soccer and swimming lessons were replaced with a new activity that brought Alek and Max purpose and excitement, thinking of the questions and sketching out the visuals. In the midst of awkward Zoom lessons and remote PE - in a time when the normal routines of their own lives were upended - their imaginations were prompted to wonder what life was like for other people in other times, accompanied here by beautiful, full-color illustrations.They are excited to see their ideas memorialized into a book and to share it with other children who also may have wondered about cavemen, while serving as a reminder that we all can find humor and purpose during difficult events in life. And that we should never stop asking questions.
