Title: Boy Here, Boy There

Author / Illustrator: Chuck Groenink

Publisher: Tundra Books

One day, as he wanders, he meets another boy standing across a river. This boy seems to be different but yet similar - he is a human boy - he is waving to the Neanderthal boy! Can they be friends?

It is believed that Neanderthals and early humans had co-existed. This is such a cool concept and the corresponding prehistoric encounter has been depicted in this book in a way that even little kids would find it very interesting.

📚 A beautiful depiction of the connection shared between a prehistoric boy and his counterpart a different kind of boy, a human kid.

📚 Poetic yet simple text. Additional details included in the author's note and bibliography.

📚 Spectacular rich detailed illustrations. You'll have to take your time to explore the details in the illustrations - stunning artwork!

📚 Recommended for kids ages 4+

The wondrous world is magical and extraordinary, but if you want to feel it, you must be brave enough to explore the unknowns and step out of your comfort zone!
