A poetic exploration of the emergence of humankind out of Africa, following the course of human development from seven million years ago to today.

ALICE SCHERTLE has written numerous children’s books, many of which have received starred reviews, “notables” citations, and “best books” awards. She has always been fascinated by the subject of human origins, and the idea for this book came from reading about this subject in detail. Schertle lives in Plainfield, Massachusetts. KENNETH ADDISON was a full-time visual artist and art educator. He studied at City College, San Francisco, and the California College of Art. His distinctive collage artwork incorporated scraps of metal, magazine clippings, batik processed Japanese paper, oil pastels, and more. Addison was drawn to this book by his love of history and curiosity about how human societies came into existence. He passed away in 2005, shortly after finishing the illustrations for We. This is his only children’s book.
