What is Stick! about?

What can you do with a stick? Almost anything! Throw it for a dog, use it to balance, float it along a stream or draw pictures in the sand. A stick can become a walking aid, a tool for exploring or the start of a brilliant game. With a little imagination, outdoor discoveries turn into creative adventures—and a simple stick might even help you make new friends. This lively, playful book celebrates nature, invention and the joy of seeing possibilities everywhere.
