A Stone Sat Still

It's a seemingly ordinary stone. But it isn't just a stone--to the animals that use it, it's a resting place, a kitchen, a safe haven. . . even an entire world. With stunning illustrations in cut paper, pencil, collage, and paint, and soothing rhythms that invite reading aloud, this title is a gorgeous exploration of perspective, perception, sensory experience, color, size, function, and time, with an underlying environmental message that is timely and poignant. Once again, Brendan Wenzel shows himself to be a master of the picture book form.
