The Pebble in My Pocket: A History of Our Earth
Author: Meredith Hooper
Illustrator: Chris Coady
Publisher: Frances Lincoln
This narrative takes the reader into the deep and distant past to witness the formation of the rock from whence came the pebble held by the child in the first picture. A factual text blended with literary language and illustrated with cross-hatched pictures in earthy colours. The life story of a pebble, seen as part of a much wider picture, nothing less than the history of the earth itself.
