A delightful exploration of the power of perspective.

Tiny Pebble feels purposeless among his family of rock-star Boulders. No matter how he tries to get involved, he's not the right fit for the job. But when the dam his cousin Dustin is constructing springs a leak, Pebble uses his unique stature and problem-solving skills to save the day in his own pebbly way.

Written by Stephanie Campisi and vividly brought to life through the illustrations of Jiarui Jiang, Pebble Without a Cause is a rousing reminder that everyone, no matter how small, has something special to offer in the grand tapestry of the world. A journey of self-discovery and self-worth, this book is an enchanting addition to any young reader's collection.
