Bolo the cave boy

"Bolo the Cave Boy" by Katharine Atherton Grimes is a story set long ago, about a young boy’s path to courage and community. Meet Bolo, a young boy with Fisher who experiences prehistoric life through exciting adventures and the growing pains of coming of age. We see Bolo learn important skills like hunting and fishing, but also how to show courage when he faces danger, like a wild bear and even a group of mammoths. Bolo's real test comes when a flood threatens his clan; he steps up, teaching his people how to use arrows for hunting and helping to relight the Great Fire, pivotal in his transition from individual survival skills to community collaboration. The story shows how one boy's bravery can bring strength and unity to his entire clan, which makes coming of age, friendship, and courage the story's central themes.
