This poetic book considers pebbles, stones, and boulders and how they belong in the wider world. It imagines a child finding a rock selected for a windowsill or for drawing a face. One possible stone comes from inside a mountain; another has been shaped by the sea. Richly colored mixed-media artwork accompanies this reflection on rocks and the natural world.
