The story hunter / Barbara Reid.

Summary:

"An extraordinary story that celebrates the art and origin of storytelling itself! In this unique and captivating new book, a curious stone age hunter-gatherer child follows Grandmother on an unusual hunting expedition into a deep cave. Overcoming fear of being swallowed by the dark, the child experiences the painted animals that spring to life on the cave walls and takes part in painting a new family story, leaving his marks in the form of handprints. Inspired by this magical experience, the child chooses to become a story hunter, carrying the community's stories as they move on. Using her signature Plasticine artwork, award-winning author and artist Barbara Reid delivers a beautiful tale of discovery and the roots of creativity."-- Provided by publisher.
