Through his
imagination, he shows her the beauty and magic to be found in such a seemingly ordinary, humble object.
 
But above all, he tells her he
dreams of being a little stone pebble – all smooth, and round, and soft, sitting snugly at the bottom of her pocket. A little pebble she can holdso tightly in her hand, to keep her company, to give her comfort, to make her feel brave and safe. A little pebble she can always carry with her – like a lucky charm, and a symbol of his love, which will always be with her.

4.0 out of 5 stars a great story with educational value, fun for kids, and a sweet message

k.l.b. · June 6, 2024

What a lovely and sweet book! It was surprisingly educational too! The illustrations were great and also very colourful, but not too bright. I loved the style of them as well. Very fun for kids! I loved the message that the story told, and also that there was some leaning mixed in! Teaching kids about different types of stones and how wide their use ranges! So fun and so cool! Overall I loved it and would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Relatable

S.W. · July 11, 2024

This book hit home because when my son in law passed he always said he’d return as a butterfly. We almost always see a monarch and it always swoops at us. So this bond between father and child is very relatable to me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sweet message

This is a cute book with sweet message, reminding a daughter that her father will always be there. If she carries a rock she will never be lonely.

A very sweet little picture book. It talks about rocks and stones and all of the special things about them. From mountains to outer space, some rocks are very large and important. Some rocks are just special to us and we can carry them with us. They can be reminders of those we love and sources of comfort!
