"This affirming tale of connection is a superb marriage of text and visuals . A lyrical and beautifully imagined prehistoric encounter." --STARRED REVIEW , Kirkus Reviews "It's a contemplative telling that seeds rich conversations about connection across species and time, and about what it means to make art." --STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly "[A] joyful, inquisitive imagining of prehistoric times." -- Booklist "Groenink's text is best described as poetry. From the lush landscape in panoramic view to up close with a baby mammoth, the feeling of nature is all around; a successful use of a variety of perspectives, varying illustration size, plus deliberate use of white space keeps it fresh and interesting." -- School Library Journal " Boy Here, Boy There is a look into what a day in the life of a young, prehistoric child might have been like. The beautifully illustrated two-page spreads are illustrated in what look like soft, brush-like strokes, imbuing us with the feeling of the calmness that nature brings.
" -- Quebec Library Association " Boy Here, Boy There is not a work of fantasy, but an imaginative exploration of early human society, undergirded by fact. The stunning pictures and poetic text recreate the plausible story of one curious boy as he interacts with the natural world, and eventually, with a kind of mirror image of himself." -- Imaginary Elevators.
