01 May / The Blue Stone: A Journey Through Life by Jimmy Liao [in Bloomsbury Review]
“A beautiful blue stone lies peacefully in the heart of a forest” for thousands of years until someone decides he wants it, splits it in two and takes half away. The separated half will travel the world in many incarnations – as an elephant, a bird, a fish, and finally a shattered heart – each time breaking apart bit by bit, longing for home. It’s a gorgeous book for both children and adults to share – go ahead, cuddle up and rejoice in a few precious moments of peaceful reunion.
