Stone Mission

A CREATIVE JOURNEY IN YOUR POCKET

Even a small, simple stone can transform into something special.

This interactive picture book invites readers to observe closely, engage all their senses, and unleash their imagination and creativity, in a path to personal growth and freedom of expression.

But what is a stone? Where does it come from? What stories can it tell? And what can it become?

In this book, you will discover how to meet, explore, and transform it. For every stone holds a secret… and this is the story of yours. A stone is an ancient, silent legacy, an amulet of dust and time, ready to be recognized, so this book – ideal to be used in schools as a tool for sessions and workshops – introduces the magic of a unique kind of encounter: the one with our own innermost, creative selves.

At the end, an informative section gathers basic geological facts – starting with the Wentworth scale – to explore what stones are, how they form, and what they are made of, while also sharing fascinating details about their use in the animal world.

Warning! Reading this book might fill your pockets with new friends.
