An ALA Notable Children's Book of 2020

The brilliant follow-up to Brendan Wenzel's Caldecott-winning and New York Times bestselling picture book, They All Saw a Cat!

A Stone Sat Still tells the story of an outwardly 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 magnificent exploration of perspective, perception, and the passage of time, with an underlying environmental message that is both timely and poignant.

• Filled with stunning artwork in cut paper, pencil, collage, and paint
• Soothing rhythms that invite read-alouds and bedtime snuggles
• Introduces concepts such as color, size, function, and time in a way that is easily understandable and teachable for children

With a rhythmic and reassuring narrative about the stone and its place in the world (and the changing environment), A Stone Sat Still demonstrates Brendan Wenzel's mastery of the picture book form.

This modern children's classic will enchant preschool and kindergarten readers, as well as the adults who read with them.

Recommended for ages 3+
