Description
Never know just what you'll find ~
when you Wonderwalk in a Land of Rocks
that tumble in your mind!
On a springtime trip to Joshua Tree National Park, I could not stop seeing the faces of these fantastic chaROCKters popping out of the rock formations. I kept saying to my wife, "Look it's a big blob guy!" ~ "Look it's a shark!" ~ "Look it's a cow!"
I took a lot of pictures.
I hoped I would be able to recognize the faces when I returned home.
When I opened up the photos, there they were!
Just for fun I started digitally painting eyes on the pictures and this chaROCKter crew came to life! The more time I spent with them, the more it seemed that these rocks might have something to say. So I sat and stared and wondered and asked: Who are you? Why have you come? What are you trying to say?
Each page turn of this unique and enchanting book delivers new surprises: wonder-filled wisdom and insights about friendship, creativity, navigating life’s challenges, responsibility to the natural world and pure imaginative joy.
Young listeners and readers will be delighted by the whimsical chaROCKters and rhythmic rhyme while older readers will be charmed by the depth of meaning from these voices of nature.
Seeing the original photographs opposite the "augmented reality" characters elevates The Wonder Rocks into training wheels for the imagination. Once you learn to ride a bike, you can never forget. Once you see these faces in the rocks you'll never look at the world the same way again!
The Wonder Rocks is for kids of all ages who love rocks, the Earth and the idea that there's more to the world than meets the eye.
