Stonecutter
This adaptation of a Chinese folktale begins with a man's dissatisfaction with his life. Weary of being a stonecutter, he becomes many things in his quest for authority, each time finding that greater power lies elsewhere.

My children LOVE this book. He has such a great way of getting children to think outside of their own little world.
Great Gift!

This book is my go-to gift for all ages, occasions, and milestones---housewarmings, graduations, birthdays, and just-because. The beautiful ink washes are cool enough for my artsy friends. The text is meditative and thought-provoking enough for my yoga friends. And the story provides a healthy perspective on expectations and ambition so I can give it to my younger cousins as a graduation gift. Best of all, the package is both accessible and elegant making it right for just about anyone and everything. Perfect, perfect! Stonecutter is a beautiful reminder that no matter what my T-shirt may say, it's not "all about me."
