“Superb….The book, as well as its subject, has a timeless quality...A lovely invitation to look up, slow down, and grow.”—Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review

When the world moves so fast, mountains seem to stand still. But mountains move and change just like you… Can you imagine?

From award-winning author-illustrator Julia Kuo comes a wondrous exploration into mountains.

Discover all of the marvelous ways mountains sway and hum, wiggle and shake, and even make their own weather.

  • A wide display of mountains from around the world
  • Fascinating scientific facts about how mountains are made, how they support ecosystems, and can reshape landscapes (and more!)
  • Dynamic sidebars and a unique search-and-find backmatter invites readers to dive back into the pages again and again

With simple lyrical text and informative sidebars, this stunning picture book is perfect for introducing readers of all ages to the mysteries of mighty mountains and the wonders of our natural world.
