ROOM ON OUR ROCK
|
|
AWARD WINNER!
Two seals are perched on a rock.
When others need shelter, do they share it?
Room on Our Rock celebrates the truth that there are two sides to every story. This clever picture book has one story that can be read two different ways.
When read from left to right, the seals believe there is definitely no room on their rock for others. But when the book is turned around and read from right to left, the seals welcome others to shelter on their rock.
A heartwarming story about sharing and compassion.
