About this book
For children who wonder how people lived before cars, rockets, and ships.
Long ago, at the foot of a tall mountain, a young boy named Kavi lived in a cave with his family. He spent his days exploring the forest, searching for useful stones, learning about fire and tools, listening to stories from the tribe's elders, and dreaming of becoming a hunter like his dad. Life seemed peaceful, but the mountain sometimes rumbled, and smoke occasionally rose into the sky. Then one night, Kavi's world changed forever.
Join Kavi and his family on an exciting adventure into the Stone Age. Along the way, young readers will discover how people lived thousands of years ago, how they made tools from stone, used fire, painted cave walls, worked together to survive, and passed stories from one generation to the next.
Perfect for children ages 5-8, this beautifully illustrated story combines adventure, family, history, and discovery, bringing the Stone Age to life.
