Bluster the Bloon and the Pebble That Stayed

Bluster the Bloon and the Pebble That Stayed

by JJ

Dedication

To the kids who’ve been too loud, too quiet, too much, or not enough.
You are just right.

And to every pebble who stays still.
Until it’s time to roll.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS


THANK YOU TO the ones who told me to keep writing.
To the friends who stayed solid like Pebble.
And to every reader who knows that even a meanie has a story.
You’re part of this one now. Thank you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


JJ WRITES STORIES for the ones who feel things a little deeper, laugh a little louder, and ask the kinds of questions grown-ups sometimes forget to answer. He believes kindness is a kind of magic, and that books are one of the best places to practice it.

This is JJ’s second children’s book, but certainly not his last.
