The Skimming Stone : A Short Story

A man stands at the edge of the lake, a golden skimming stone in his hand. He has been waiting his whole life for this moment.

But now that it has arrived, he is full of doubt. If he throws the stone will it plummet to the depths of the lake, or will it skim gracefully along the surface, as it deserves to after all this time? ple, heartfelt tale from Dominic Wilcox part of a new series of inspirational stories from Do Books is in equal parts charming and profound.

A story of making the ordinary extraordinary, of hard work and anticipation, of learning to let go of fear, of having the courage to seize opportunities as and when they present themselves it will speak to each reader in different ways.

With simple yet elegant watercolour illustrations by Leonora Oppenheimer and a beautiful clothbound finish, it will be a treasured addition to any bookshelf.
