(2) K-3 Illustrated by Daniel Miyares. In this inspirational tale with a punny sense of humor, Rocky is a pebble with "boulder-sized" dreams. He sets off to find his place with famous family members around the United States. Using watercolor, acrylic, and digital tools, Miyares creates impressive full-bleed landscapes and also manages to give personality to a pebble. The back matter places members of "Rocky's Rock Star Family" in geological context.
