A little girl named Stone lives with her father during prehistoric times where mastodons and ferocious beasts abound. She longs to be as strong as her father. But when he becomes ill, someone must journey deep into the wilderness, past dangers — including ferocious bears — to find a cure, and none of the warriors are willing to go. So she decides to head off alone, remembering how her father taught here to be strong. Stone will need bravery for the harrowing journey... but she will need kindness most of all.
This charming story about what it really takes to be strong will resonate with many young readers. Vibrant illustrations of Stone's surroundings, full of prehistoric creatures, draw you into a world where it would be easy to forget empathy, making it all the more surprising that Stone succeeds. A tender tale about the bond between a father and daughter, Strong as Stone illustrates that the power of love and compassion is timeless.
