A magical, hands-on guide that teaches kids how to see the world differently-through the eyes of a rock.
 
In this beautifully illustrated and delightfully imaginative picture book, young readers follow Mia, a curious little girl, who discovers that the rocks around her are filled with possibilities-hidden shapes, animal faces, and untold stories.
 
When she meets Hans, a boy who can bring rocks to life with just a pencil and some paint, Mia learns a magical secret: "The rocks tell me what they want to be.”
 
From sleepy owls to silly monkeys, readers will be inspired to see animals in everyday pebbles and transform them into their own painted creations. Step by step, children will learn how to:
 
See characters in the shapes of rocks
Sketch animal features with simple lines
Bring their creatures to life using colour and imagination
 
Perfect for creative minds aged 5-12, this is more than just a story-it's a how-to book wrapped in wonder. Young artists will come away with both a fun story and the confidence to make their own rock friends come to life.
 
Grab a rock. Listen to it. Draw. Paint. Blow! Make your own rock friend come to life!
