review 1: A Single Pebble – A Story of the Silk Road by Bonnie Christensen – beautiful story set in 9th century China with a story that had a little connection for me to Beauty and the Beast- connected to a little girl asking her father to bring something special home when he went on a trip. The something special was to bring a pebble with him along the silk road where he is a merchant. Lovely language rhythm, locations, and illustrations throughout the book. Appreciate having a picture book glimpse of life along the silk road. Excellent non-fiction information at the end of the book as well!
