Book Description

What to do about a little boy who loves rocks so much he takes home half the pre-school rock garden in his pockets? Not to worry, says his teacher, "Mrs. Kim," as her students call her. She comes from a long line of rock lovers herself. Besides, she can make a great book about her former student's fascination with rocks of every shape and size. And that's just what Kimberly Stringer has done in "Rocks in My Pocket," her second book. She has more books written and ready to be published. They will all show the wonder, fascination and fun she gets to witness every day in her pre-school in Wichita, KS. Her hands-on curriculum is largely devoted to having students outdoors to enjoy the fresh air and nature. Just like Kim's mother taught her and like Kim has tried to teach her own daughter, (who always seems to find the heart-shaped rocks.)

Book Description

Some people collect stamps. Other people collect coins. Carol Otis Hurst's father collected rocks. Nobody ever thought his obsession would amount to anything. They said, "You've got rocks in your head" and "There's no money in rocks." But year after year he kept on collecting, trading, displaying, and labeling his rocks. The Depression forced the family to sell their gas station and their house, but his interest in rocks never wavered. And in the end the science museum he had visited so often realized that a person with rocks in his head was just what was needed. Anyone who has ever felt a little out of step with the world will identify with this true story of a man who followed his heart and his passion.
