A Stone for Sascha by Aaron Becker

A girl grieves the loss of her dog in an achingly beautiful wordless epic from the Caldecott Honor-winning creator of Journey.

This year's summer vacation will be very different for a young girl and her family without Sascha, the beloved family dog, along for the ride. But a wistful walk along the beach to gather cool, polished stones becomes a brilliant turning point in the girl's grief. There, at the edge of a vast ocean beneath an infinite sky, she uncovers, alongside the reader, a profound and joyous truth. In his first picture book following the conclusion of his best-selling Journey trilogy, Aaron Becker achieves a tremendous feat, connecting the private, personal loss of one child to a cycle spanning millennia -- and delivering a stunningly layered tale that demands to be pored over again and again.

When Aaron Becker was a kid, he fantasized of visiting castles. He was fortunate enough to visit the fortified island of Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France, when he was ten years old. That visit prompted him to build the opulent castle seen throughout the Journey trilogy many years later. Aaron and his family recently returned to Europe, where he finished the watercolor paintings included in this book.
