Acervo: Nanaquë (Hardcover)

The Acervo series spreads the aesthetic antique heritage through beautifully illustrated children’s books. Nanaquë offers a look into the culture of rock art. The images are re-created using the same techniques and symbolism. Nanaquë is out with his tribe, collecting fruit, firewood, and honey when he wanders from the group and encounters a wild boar. He tries to defend himself with his arrow until he finds shelter in a cave. In the dark, alone, without food or water, Nanaquë paints on the walls. He waits until the wounded boar dies before he leaves the cave and returns to his tribe, a hero.
