Why read it?
1 author picked The Jupiter Stone as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
With
simple, colorful drawings and age-appropriate text, author-illustrator Lewis
relays the amazing journey of a Jupiter-striped stone through the cosmos,
including its brief billion-year stop on Earth. I absolutely adore this book
and use it as a mentor text in my classes to show new and experienced writers
how children’s picture books can touch the soul. Working with only 32 pages and
minimal words, Lewis captures the wonder of the universe and the never-ending story
of where we, as humans, fit into the heavens. The twist at the end is pure
magic.
From Cheryl's list on children’s books about kindness and friendship.
