Smart Writers Journal Learn the business and craft of writing for children. Our world is in constant change. Sometimes it is obvious as hurricane winds rip trees from their roots or lava slides down the side of a mountain, or an earthquake sends gigantic tsunami waves to flood and engulf entire villages. But much of the time the earths changes are not visible, though we know with the passage of time that they have occurred.To Stone And Back Again written by Nancy Bo Flood and illustrated by Tony Kuyper shows how the earth is changing and it all starts with a grain of sand. One tiny grain of sand joins with one more and more and yet another and over time a majestic mountain is formed. Minerals in the rocks bring out their stunning colors. Pinks, oranges, and vivid purples drape the rocks in beauty as depicted in Slot Canyons in Page Arizona, the beautifully, photographed book by Andy McDonough.
