When her new baby brother arives, Elizabeti, a young Tanzanian girl, longs for a baby of her own to hold and bathe and kiss and burp. One day she finds the perfect baby - a rock she names Eva - just the right size for holding and bathing and kissing and burping. Expressive collage paintings, along with lovely music by Crystal Taliefero and moving narration by Lynn Whitfield, help tell this tender story about gentleness and love.
