The Boulder's Rambunctious Little Rock

This mostly loosely rhyming children's picture book tells the story of a rambunctious little rock who springs from her father's head; she's fittingly named Athena. Though born in the North, she quickly grows tired of the slower pace of the other grounded rocks there and heads to the East, South and West in search of adventure and new friends. Finding all that and more, she enjoys herself in the new locations, but ultimately misses her home. It could perhaps best be described as an anthropomorphic and optimistic tale, and, as it's a picture book, many younger children should be able to get the gist of the story even without being able to read the words. Appropriate for ages 3 and up.
