A calm, imaginative story collection about kindness, curiosity, and finding your place.

Riverstone is a quiet town where odd things happen as a matter of course -- whether it's an ant colony taking a banana to the moon, a raccoon trying to be a streetcar, or a chameleon finding his purpose in life.

Written for curious young readers, the ten short stories in this collection are whimsical, thoughtful, and quietly magical. There are no villains, no battles, and no dramatic twists -- just strange, gentle happenings in a world that follows its own quiet logic. These stories invite children to slow down, notice the wonder around them, and discover that even the strangest dreams can take root in everyday life.

It's a strange place. You'd want to stay.

Perfect for ages 6-8+, for independent readers and cozy read-alouds.
