Description
The big rock is a granite boulder that began as molten rock millions of years ago. Through the ages, the mountains above it wore down, the ocean flooded over it, and then new mountains heaved the rock up to the surface. With full-color illustrations and simple diagrams, young readers learn about the history of our planet through the cycle of this prehistoric rock.

Person
Bruce Hiscock was an award-winning children's book author and illustrator. He was well known both for his books, including The Big Storm, Ookpik, and The Big Rock, as well as for his programs in local schools and libraries. He died in 2021, in the house he built by hand using the rocks and trees on his property in Porter Corners, New York, what he called "the edge of the wild."
