A Stone Sat Still

A Stone Sat Still

by Brendan Wenzel

About This Book

A single stone in the natural world is seen through many different perspectives - as a hill to climb for a ladybug, a resting place for a tired deer, a whole world for the moss that grows on it. Brendan Wenzel's stunning illustrations and poetic text explore how one ordinary object can mean countless different things depending on who encounters it.

Why We Love This

The layered, gorgeous artwork invites kids to think about perspective in a way that feels both profound and accessible. Every reading reveals something new.
