Speck

About this book

Everything and everyone has a place in the universe, but for a little speck, lost at sea, it will take an extraordinary journey to find it. Deep in a tide pool, too small to see, Thousands of tiny specks go forth.Each one searchingfor a place to stay, and grow, and thrive... The little speck does not know what it is, only that it wishes to find out. And so it embarks on a journey across the sea. From sun-flecked surf to darkest depths, past schools of fish, storm-tossed ships and hungry eels.... Until, at last, it finds exactly what it was looking for: a place to belong. In vivid watercolor paintings, Margaux Meganck brings this tale to life, seamlessly shifting perspective to show how even the tiniest creatures--every barnacle, every child, every star in the sky--contributes to something greater than itself.
