Praise for this book

"What an inspiring book to show children the creative ways to play with rocks..." -- Imagination Soup

"Author and illustrator of this joyful book give equal respect to every kind of rockhound, following a jaunty, blue-haired girl with a sidelong grin who collects, sorts, paints, makes mosaics, pitches, and contemplates." -- Horn Book

"This is a lively, emotionally resonant celebration of rocks as well as humans' ways of connecting with and learning about the natural world." -- Publishers Weekly

"The story's opening draws readers right into the world of rock appreciation... The child's adventures with rocks and making friends form a visual story that complements the conversational, conspiratorial text. By the end, the story widens its scope to sweet life lessons as it turns effortlessly toward friendship and the wisdom transferable from rock discovery to friend discovery. A delightful invitation." -- Kirkus Reviews

"A lovely, unconventional tribute to rocks and their admirers." -- Booklist
