繼2017年以They All Saw a Cat勇奪美國凱迪克獎後，Brendan Wenzel再推新作。
當海鷗棲息在石頭上，試圖用長嘴打開蛤蜊時，石頭是“響亮”的；當一條蛇蜷曲在上面曬太陽時，石頭是“安靜”的。它不僅僅是一顆石頭，也是一個休息的處所，是一個廚房，是一個避風港，甚至是……整個世界！讀者透過簡單的文字與柔和的插圖，體會石頭在這個世界的角色。在黑暗中，浣熊透過爪子觸摸到石頭，這是一種觸覺，狩獵中的土狼用鼻子嗅聞石頭上其他動物通過的蹤跡，這是一種嗅覺，石頭既堅強又柔順，隨着季節不斷變換色彩，訴說出許多動人的故事。
A Stone Sat Still精彩地呈現出了視角、顏色、大小、感官等多重體驗，並利用剪紙、鉛筆、拼貼畫等不同藝術表現形式，繪製出令人印象深刻的插圖，是Wenzel再一次證明自己功力的精彩之作！
In this moving companion to the Caldecott Honor–winning They All Saw a Cat, Brendan Wenzel tells the story of a seemingly ordinary stone. But it isn't just a stone—to the animals that use it, it's a resting place, a kitchen, a safe haven...even an entire world. With stunning illustrations in cut paper, pencil, collage, and paint, and soothing rhythms that invite reading aloud, A Stone Sat Still is a gorgeous exploration of perspective, perception, sensory experience, color, size, function, and time, with an underlying environmental message that is timely and poignant. Once again Wenzel shows himself to be a master of the picture book form.
