What a Rock Can Reveal

Award-winning science writer and geologist Maya Wei-Haas introduces young readers to the fascinating world of rocks through the art of observation.

Starting with a friendly question-and-answer format, she explores the diversity of rocks and minerals and how a rock's shape, colour, or texture helps to tell the stories of how it was formed, where it comes from, and the incredible journeys it has had.

This hands-on introduction reveals how rocks are time capsules of our planet's past, recording the thrilling events that once built Earth's incredible geology.

The text and vibrant illustrations expand on a child's natural instinct to collect things, nurturing their interest and curiosity by giving them simple observation skills that will help them explore the connections between objects found in nature, the wider environment, and Earth's history.
