The Stone Baby by Beth Norling


When a friend I was working with in the children’s section of a bookshop pulled a book off the shelf and said “This is one of my favourites”, little did I know that it would become one of mine too. Which is strange, because it’s a quirky little book that I can’t imagine would appeal to everyone.

The Stone Baby begins with a simple statement that many could relate to: “I’m looking for something.” There seems to be something alluding us quite often, whether it be physical/practical, or metaphysical/spiritual, but sometime our lives can become overwhelmed with stuff and we could use a helping hand.
