Sally the Stone and Friends Spread Kindness & Joy

This children's storybook follows the journey of one small stone picked up by a child, gently washed and painted, then hidden for another child to find. Finding Sally the Stone brings such joy to this little boy that he gathers his friends to paint other stones to hide at various animal exhibits at the local zoo. While hiding these newly painted stones, the children learn about kindness, sharing, and friendship. As the story concludes, learn how these beautiful acts of kindness and sharing come full circle.

You will enjoy the colorful, whimsical illustrations as the book captures the wonders of childhood. Perhaps you might start painting and hiding your own stones to join in this global movement.

Jeremy Provost was born in Oconomowoc, a small lake country town in Wisconsin. As a child Jeremy was introduced to Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes, which instantly grounded his desire to become a comic illustrator. After years of being told he couldn't draw in class, Jeremy decided to become a student at Indiana Wesleyan University. While enrolled Jeremy taught under children's illustrator Ron Mazellan. Ron's mentorship and guidance was very influential in Jeremy's own shift of passion toward children's illustration.

Jeremy graduated IWU in the summer of 2008 with an illustration degree, and ventured back home. Jeremy has worked on various projects, and now spends his days as an active children's illustrator. His greatest desire is to spark imagination to a younger audience, just as “Calvin and Hobbes” sparked his own as a child.
