The Skipping Stone (Paperback)

The Skipping Stone, written by Kelly Lenihan and beautifully illustrated by Oona Risling-Sholl & Naomi Bardoff, is the delightful story of Nick, an ordinary little boy fervently yearning for something extraordinary to happen. One day, on a family outing, his dream comes true in a rather round about way. His wishful thinking finally pays off and he even ends up with a special memento to remind him of his extraordinary day. ABOUT THE AUTHOR As a child, Kelly Lenihan's imagination knew no bounds She was forever dreaming up fantastical stories, inventing make-believe worlds replete with colorful characters engaging in wondrous adventures. By the end of her teens, she d written countless short stories. Never losing her penchant for writing; she s been published in various magazines and enjoyed her own newspaper column for several years. To this day, she is an avid blogger and has several full-length books in the works. As a parent, Kelly Lenihan shared her love of the magical world of books by reading aloud to her two boys, sometimes making up stories on the fly. The Skipping Stone is one of those stories and it remains a beloved family favorite. She hopes you love it too.
