The Blue Stone: A Journey Through Life

80 pp. | Little | April, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-11383-0 $16.99
(4) K-3 Translated by Sarah L. Thomson. After humans split a huge rock in two, one half spends its long, lonely life devolving (from sculpture to garden ornament, and so on), until it's just sand that returns to its original forest home. Liao is a versatile watercolorist, and children may enjoy the book's illustrations, but the text's wistful life-journey aspect won't resonate with them.
