************

There are people in this world who might have more things than other people. But for this wise young girl the truth is that anyone can own treasure and in this case that treasure is our connection to nature, our knowledge that we belong to this beautiful natural world. You can hold onto that treasure - that connection--- by finding your own special rock.

In this story a young voice offers ten rules on how to find your rock. She takes you out into the wide open spaces of the wilderness in search of a rock but she also reassures that you can discover your rock anywhere in the world. You just need to take the time to look for it and see it. You'll know it when you find it.

A lovely book that invites every child to claim his/her/their place in the amazing, rich natural world that embraces this planet. Get that rock. Put it in your pocket. Reach for it when you need it.
