And a bit later, they carved images onto stones. Some pictures are of humans, usually drawn as stick figures, but most are of animals. We don't know their purpose, though in some cases, evidence seems to suggest they were used for storytelling. But when we look at these pictures, we can't help but admire the extraordinary talent of the first artists. They aren't just scratches on the wall. They are great art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book of few words, we follow a young girl who notices everything that happens around her as her people search for a cave to shelter for the winter. And we can believe that she feels the absolute necessity to draw what she has seen and to tell stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfterward, Everything was Different\u003c\/i\u003e features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackmatter explaining what we know--and don't know--about cave drawings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStunning black and white illustrations of life during the Pleistocene.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn Aldana Libros Book, Greystone Kids\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJairo Buitrago\u003c\/strong\u003e (author) and \u003cstrong\u003eRafael Yockteng\u003c\/strong\u003e (illustrator)have collaborated on many highly acclaimed picture books, including \u003cem\u003eJimmy the Greatest!\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTwo White Rabbits\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWalk with Me\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLion and Mouse\u003c\/em\u003e.
