A Stone Is a Story (2023), written by Leslie Barnard Booth and illustrated by Marc Martin, tracks the remarkable journey of a single stone. It begins deep beneath Earth’s surface as molten magma, then rises through geological time. The stone is carved by glaciers, scoured by rivers, shaped by wind, and heat-baked under the sun. Over millennia it is moved, reshaped, broken, and transformed until it finally rests in a child’s hand. Along the way, the stone passes through mountains, oceans, deserts and time itself, collecting layers of history. Each spread shows a new chapter - movement, metamorphosis, waiting and change - until the story of the rock meets the story of us.
