Summary

A boy befriends a baby gargoyle in this magical wordless story from award-winning creators Jo Ellen Bogart and Maja Kastelic. Anthony wakes up one morning to find his favourite rock has cracked open and it's hollow! He discovers a strange-looking hatchling inside, and the two become fast friends. When Anthony asks his mother where the rock came from, she shows him photos from their trip to Paris, including of Notre-Dame cathedral, with its familiar-looking forms perched on top. Could Anthony's new friend be a gargoyle? This magical wordless story is brought to life in stunning, silent, hand-painted panels, and is a touching tale of true friendship and letting go
