A Single Pearl

32 pp. | Hyperion | June, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4231-4557-8 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jim LaMarche. A grain of sand in the vast ocean feels worthless. But when it becomes the center of a pearl, later presented to a Persian princess, it knows it's important. While the acrylic paintings create a radiant setting for this softly told story about feeling special (and how pearls are made), the emotions of a grain of sand may not resonate with children.
