About The Book

Every grain of sand has a story to tell, and young readers can come along on the geological journey to discover how sand is made in this rhyming and illuminating nonfiction picture book.

Have you ever held a grain of sand and wondered what was in your hand? Each and every particle has a tale to tell…from a mountaintop storm to fossils of prehistoric creatures to a booming volcanic eruption. Explore the odyssey, through time and tides and waves that roar, that brings each grain of sand onto our shore.
