A little mountain spends the days and nights looking up to a bigger mountain. One night, the earth begins to shake. When the sun rises the next day, the bigger mountain is gone. From its shadow, a tiny mountain now looks up to the little mountain. If a mountain could see, where would it look? If a mountain could talk, what would it say? If a mountain could learn, how would it teach? Now that the little mountain has become the big mountain, what will it do? A picture book for children, Mountains tells the story about the desert days and nights and the mountains that live there.
I follow Richard Thomas’s blog. I absolutely love his drawings. When he advertised a new book, I had to read it. I think it would be nice for children. It is well done. I’d like to encourage Thomas to publish some of his blog drawings in a book for adults. They are hilarious.
In a world of complicated, simple is good. Mountains are simple on the surface, but there's a lot we can't see beneath the surface.
Children know what we've forgotten. This book helped me remember what children know. Children know how to stand silent as the world turns round and around.
The Kindle version was good, The Apple Books version was better, but my autographed copy is the best.
Nicely done Richard Thomas!

Dear Potential Reader: if you would like to read this book, I would like to pay for one paperback copy of Mountains and send it to you. Just one, so if you're interested you can contact Richard Thomas on his web site (riverofwordflow.com). I'll let him decide who gets their free copy. If you like it, maybe you can pass it forward!
