Satoshi Kitamura's Stone Age Boy is something of a modern classic of children's literature. With its gently unfolding storyline, vivid language and lovely supporting illustrations, it is the perfect thing for engaging the interest of your KS2 class in a variety of topics including but not limited to English and History. Satoshi Kitamura was born in 1956. After dropping out of school to pursue art, Kitamura decided not to attempt a 10-year apprenticeship as a potter and instead worked as a graphic artist. He was not trained as an artist, but at the age of 19 began to do commercial work as an illustrator for adverts and magazines. He moved from Tokyo to London in 1979 where he worked mainly at designing greeting cards. I love how the main character was influenced by his Stone Age friend into becoming an archaeologist as an adult! He learned along with the reader which made the story feel like a much more personal and relatable experience. Palaeolithic and Mesolithic people were hunter-gatherers. They got their food by hunting animals and gathering plants and berries.
