This was so sweet. A lovely and touching moment between two different and yet similar groups of people.

I loved this story and thought it was so cute. Such a fun way to teach about evolution!!! My toddler enjoyed it but children older than that would get much more out of it.

Boy Here, Boy There (Hardcover)
by Chuck Groenink
Looking at the life of a Neanderthal child. The book shows how similar to modern children a young Neanderthal boy and his family. How they lived in caves. How they were connected into families. this book is a great resource for showing the youngest children the science of anthropology, and archeology. The book also shows that the remains of these people can tell modern children how they lived.

This is a picture book imagining the life of a prehistoric child. If we follow our family tree back far enough we might see where Neanderthals and early humans co-existed. Our young protagonist spends his days exploring, much like modern children. Curious about the world he ends up on a river bank looking across at another boy; similar but different to himself. Would they be friends? Could they be friends? The imagination soars at the potential meeting. The illustrations are engaging and flow with the simple story.
