"Where do rocks come from?"
The answer may be more incredible than you think! After all, a stone is not just a stone: a stone is a story. Embark on a journey across time to see how one stone can change and transform, from magma under Earth's crust to the sand swept up by a rushing river to the very heart of the tallest mountain. Watch what happens when rain, ice, and wind mold this rock into something new, something you might even hold in your hand--something full of endless possibility.
Complete with additional information about geology and the rock cycle, this lyrical and captivating story invites readers to experience the wonder of the natural world around us, and to see--in every cliff, pebble, and stone--a window into Earth's deep past.
Includes bibliographical references.
"A stone is not just a stone. A stone is a story. Journey across history to see how one stone changes and transforms, from magma, oozing under Earth's crust, to sand ground down by a rushing river, to the heart of a mountain. Watch what happens when rain, ice, and wind mold this rock into something new, something you might even hold in your hand and imagine all that is left for the stone to become. Leslie Barnard Booth weaves captivating prose to answer one of kids' most curious questions, "where do rocks come from?", brought to colorful life by Marc Martin's stunning illustrations"-- Provided by publisher.
