Description
Over one hundred million years ago, on the side of a volcano....a rock is born.
As time passes and the world changes, the rock will change, too. Mud will erode it. Lava will melt it. And water will compress it.
Eventually, the rock will be reshaped. And a new rock is born.
Award-winning creators Richard Ho and Lily Williams bring to life an evocative and educational picture book about the life cycle of a rock in this bold nonfiction tale perfect for any classroom or bookshelf.
