This children’s storybook follows the journey of one small stone picked
up by a child, gently washed and painted, then hidden for another child
to find. Finding Sally the Stone brings such joy to this little boy that he
gathers his friends to paint other stones to hide at various animal exhibits
at the local zoo. While hiding these newly painted stones, the children
learn about kindness, sharing, and friendship. As the story concludes,
learn how these beautiful acts of kindness and sharing come full circle.
You will enjoy the colorful, whimsical illustrations as the book captures
the wonders of childhood. Perhaps you might start painting and hiding
your own stones to join in this global movement.
"It takes a world of those being kind
to show the world how to be kind,
one small stone at a time."

Sally Schnarr was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin. As a mother of three and grandmother of five, Sally knows first hand the excitement of childhood learning. She wrote this story to bring to life the global movement of stone painting, spreading kindness, joy and laughter to others through the eyes of her five grandchildren. She chose the setting of a local Zoo, where she has spent countless hours exploring with her son, Michael Jr.
