A Stone Sat Still

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2019. A 2020 ALA Notable Children’s Book. The brilliant follow-up to the Caldecott Honor-winning and New York Times bestselling picture book They All Saw a Cat by Brendan Wenzel! A Stone Sat Still tells the story of a seemingly ordinary rock—but to the animals that use it, it is a resting place, a kitchen, a safe haven...even an entire world. This is a gorgeous exploration of perspective, perception, and the passage of time, with an underlying environmental message that is timely and poignant. • Filled with stunning illustrations in cut paper, pencil, collage, and paint • Soothing rhythms invite reading aloud and bedtime snuggles • Introduces concepts like color, size, function, and time in a way that is easily understandable and teachable for children. With a rhythmic, calming narrative about the stone and its place in the world—and the changing environment—A Stone Sat Still proves Brendan Wenzel’s mastery of the picture book form.
