Everybody Needs a Rock by Byrd Baylor

5.0

I have never had a rock. I'm not even overly fond of being in nature. That being said, I LOVE this book. This book makes me want to camp outside, look at the stars, feel the heat of the sun, sit, stare and contemplate nature. The text and the illustrations are captivating. What you think are simple line drawings slowly evolve as you study the images and become layer upon layer of thoughts and emotions on the page. Everything about this book is beautiful!
