Sleeping Stones (Story)

A story about a driven little owl who wants to make a difference. A Purple Dragonfly Book Award Winner.

From the award-winning collection [National Parenting Product Award, Family Choice Award, among others] of Madeleine Editions, which takes children on a voyage around the world. Today’s destination: mythical China!

Inspired by Chinese mythology, author Kaitlin Solimine weaves a beautiful, adventurous tale about trying one’s best despite imperfect results. Echoing the story’s undertone of environmental awareness, illustrator Hu Yu and percussionist Valtinho Anastacio interpreted the story visually and aurally via collages and instruments made from found materials.

Madeleine Editions presents beautiful, immersive story experiences for modern families. Our mission is to help children cultivate an ear for languages and a taste for the creative arts during this sensitive age.
