Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the world is much bigger and older than they are, or when they ask questions about where mountains come from.

This story follows a single granite rock from its fiery beginnings deep underground through millions of years of shifting continents and ice ages. It beautifully illustrates the emotional themes of patience and endurance, showing that even something as solid as a mountain is part of a constantly changing story. For ages 6 to 10, it transforms complex geology into a relatable biography of a silent, steadfast witness to history.
