A Little Stone — Illustrated Picture Book

**A Little Stone Winner of Picture this! 2024** A Little Stone is a story about searching: The story begins with a little stone lacking confidence, its greatest fear being disliked. In its effort to avoid being disliked, it gradually stopped being itself. Often kicked around, its body became covered in scars. Moss grew from these scars, slowly obscuring its view of the world. Until one day, it was picked up and brought to a beautiful garden. The person told it, "You don't need to be special, you don't need to be perfect. You just need to be your unique self." **Dedicated to Every Little Stone That Has Been Hurt** Perhaps we have all experienced, to some degree, being loved, being abandoned, being forgotten, or even being hurt. You may be bruised all over, perhaps no longer holding hope for this world. But A Little Stone wants to say: There is always someone, somewhere, who simply loves you for who you are in this moment, just as every stone has its own unique texture and shape. You may not see your own strengths, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. You may not be special, you may not be perfect, but you are unique. **▍Product Specifications** Pages | 24 pages Size | 20 x 23cm Printing | Full color Binding | Sewn hardcover Paper | Venus Motte Paper Language | Chinese **▍About the Author** 22.
