Is there someone so close to you that your life is what it is because of them? A family member or friend that is or was always there for you? It's Not Just a Rock is all about making memories and enjoying the little things in life. It tells a story of time and how quickly time can pass. It reminds you to surround yourself with people you love and to appreciate them while they are in your life. Look around, you may even start to notice signs that someone is watching over you and guiding you to live your best life! It's Not Just a Rock is written for families, for the classroom, and for loved ones on special occasions. It gives ideas on how you can use the book at home...memories with your family, start collections, make a scrapbook, etc. It also gives ideas to teachers and how they can use it in the classroom. I have included lesson activities to be used in the classroom. For example, a figurative language lesson, a chance to discuss cultures and WWII, why names are important, etc. This book will make you smile, remind you of your past, and hope for the future. It will pull at your heart strings and remind you to say I love.
