Mara Bauer – 5.0 out of 5 stars – Great story and illustrations!

The Kindly Caveman is a great story as it has an important message about a simple act that can sometimes be overlooked. Kindness! Not only are there exciting action scenes and great illustrations, but while reading this to my son he can learn some valuable lessons about life. My husband, son and I really enjoyed this story and hope that the author continues to write more children’s books!

A Little History

This storybook began as a conversation between two friends: John, a writer, and Conor, an artist. The poem itself was written in a matter of days, as John was inspired by the recent loss of his sister, to whom the book became dedicated. The completion of the picture book became a labor of love for both John and Conor, a story that everyone should hear with pictures that everyone will enjoy.

“The Kindly Caveman” is a poem by John M. Broadhead. The color illustrations were created by Conor Hennelly.
