Summary

Published Reviews

Booklist Review: "In this lively picture book, a Black girl who loves geology attempts to convert an unseen, initially snarky onlooker (a stand-in for the book's audience), who yawns at the thought of rocks. First the enthusiast says that geology isn't just rocks; it's also volcanoes, diamonds, and fossils. Next she explains how "boring" rocks can change into "fiery liquid rock" (lava) during the rock cycle, in which one type of rock is transformed into another. After the unseen character asks a rhetorical question, the enthusiastic girl immediately counters that the asker would make a good scientist, because "Science isn't about having the answers--it's about asking questions." Finally, she welcomes her gradually converted listener into the Rock Club. As in Barton's I'm Trying to Love Spiders (2015) and Give Bees a Chance (2017), the conversational text is so engaging that the information becomes more interesting and easier to absorb. With an energetic, disarmingly childlike look, the illustrations help viewers visualize and understand the concepts described. A welcome addition to this popular series."
