When a little boy finds a lonely stone on a quiet beach, he decides to find him the perfect home among other stones just like him. But nowhere feels quite right for little Stone.

And just as the boy is about to give up, he realises that he may have had the perfect home for Stone all along . . .

A touching story about finding friends in unexpected places, from the award-winning creators of My Pet Star.
