    Hank is a pill bug with a busy life—for a pill bug, that is. His daily routine involves nibbling a dead leaf, climbing up a long stick, avoiding a skateboarder, and playing pretend with his best friend, a human girl named Amelia, in her backyard. And when day is done, Hank likes nothing better than returning home to his cozy rock.

    He marvels at the blue swirls of the ocean and the green land, a bright spot turning through the darkness of space. He wants to go to this wondrous place, but he ponders: What will that life be like?“You will be plunged into Earth’s river of time,” his elders tell the Star Child.“There will be so much for you to learn and so much for you to feel—pleasure and fear, joy and disappointment, sadness and wonder.”Through spare, artful text and intricate illustrations, Claire A. Nivola celebrates the cycle of life.  A Frances Foster Book
