- Description:
A rock can be a…dinosaur bone, stepping-stone, hopscotch marker, fire sparker. Find out about the many roles a rock can play in this poetic exploration of rocks around the world.
Laura Purdie Salas's lyrical, rhyming text and Violeta Dabija's glowing illustrations make simple yet profound observations about seemingly ordinary objects and encourage readers to suggest "what else it can be!" Using metaphors for a leaf (tree topper/rain stopper), a rock (hopscotch marker/fire sparker), and water (thirst quencher/kid drencher), these insightful picture books creatively highlight a variety of roles and relationships in nature.
