Me and Momma and Big John

Little John watches his mother work as a stonecutter on a grand cathedral called "Big John." He is proud of her skills but doesn't understand why she spends so much time carefully shaping a single stone that no one will ever notice. As the cathedral rises higher, John begins to realize that every piece of stone, no matter how small, plays a part in something much larger than himself. Based on a true story, this picture book celebrates a mother's craft and the special bond between a son and his momma.
