A fun geology lesson, narrated by a rock to some forest friends that (mistakenly) think a rock must have lived a boring life

Yes. A book where a rock is the voice. A rock. What will they think of next?

It's a story of contentment and also not judging something based on your own thoughts and experiences.....after all, this rock had more of an adventure than the Hummingbird and pine tree gave him credit for. (

Teaches history and staying in one place is not very boring. (
