Accompanying his mother on a special outing, a baby elephant is protected from a sequence of scary predators before arriving at the top of a high mountain and observing a wondrous surprise.

It might look like a pebble from the beach, but Eliza knows this is an egg. And one night when she hears cracking, she discovers the Stone Bird. It might still look like a stone to her mom, but Eliza knows it's alive. Step into the magical world of one child's imagination in this stunning debut by exciting new author Jenny McCartney, illustrated by luminary of children's books Patrick Benson.
