About the Book
Nobody ever thought this boy's obsession with rocks would amount to anything. They said, "You've got rocks in your head," and "There's no money in rocks." But he kept on collecting, trading, displaying, and labeling his rocks for decades until finally his knowledge and passion were recognized and he was hired by a science museum. Anyone who's ever felt a little out of step with the world will love Carol Otis Hurst's inspiring story of her father, a man who followed his heart. It's a true story, and it's illustrated by the incomparable James Stevenson.
