“This poetic picture book reads forward and backward, revealing two narratives about sharing and welcoming… The narrative around sharing and welcoming can be scaled for diverse age groups. Gently clever.”

—Kirkus Reviews

” …as a springboard for discussion about personal choice, acceptance, and different points of view, there is a great deal to savor here.”

—School Library Journal

Room on Our Rock

Written by Kate Temple and Jol Temple

There are two ways to read this story. When read from left to right, the seals believe there is definitely no room on their rock for others. But when the book is read backward, the seals welcome others to shelter on their rock. A heartwarming story about sharing and compassion.
