Notes
Description
"A bullying seagull and a rock meet on the beach. When a seagull mistakes a small rock for food, it angrily spits it out. "What do you think you are?" the seagull demands. "I am a rock," the rock responds. But the seagull refuses to accept this, insisting that the rock is more like a pebble, or perhaps a stone. It predicts that the rock will be thrown into the lake and sink, and even if it manages to be washed ashore, the same thing will happen again and again, until the rock is worn down to a mere speck. After all, the rock has no shine, color, crystals or speckles ... In short, it is nothing special. But a child enjoying a day at the beach sees the rock differently, and their creation in the sand affirms what the rock has known about itself all along. Award-winning creators Laurel Croza and Matt James have come together once again to create a quirky, vibrant and very memorable picture book"--,Provided by publisher.
