Description
Riverstone is a quiet town where odd things happen as a matter of course — whether it’s an ant colony taking a banana to the moon, a raccoon trying to be a streetcar, or a chameleon finding his purpose in life.
The ten short stories in this collection are whimsical, calm, and a little off-kilter. There are no villains, no battles, and no dramatic twists — just strange, gentle happenings in a world that follows its own quiet logic.
It's a strange place. You'd want to stay.
Advance Praise
"A unique collection of creative, short stories that are appealing to young readers and inspire environmental connection."
"From friendly plants who do not wish to be locked up to ladybugs who eat nightmares, there is no limit to the potential of these tales. And each one connects young readers to the endless potential found in creative thinking."
" Written for a young audience, this collection is approachable whether it is being read aloud to pre-readers or being read independently by elementary school-aged readers"
