Dino is an 8-year-old dinosaur with autism. Crowds and noise can be a lot, so sometimes he covers his ears and needs a quiet minute. He talks with a tablet he carries everywhere, and he likes knowing what comes next.

Sometimes, a cup is more than a cup.
For Dino, his favorite cup is part of the day he imagined. When it disappears, finding another cup doesn't answer what he is trying to tell his family.
This story invites us to slow down, listen, and make room for feelings. Dino communicates through his device, his expressions, and his actions. His family learns to pay attention and to stay close without rushing him.
