Welcome to Riverstone—a quiet, peculiar town where unusual things happen as a matter of course. An ant colony launches a banana rocket to the moon. A fluffy raccoon dreams of becoming a forest streetcar. A magical garden quietly packs up its roots and leaves.

The Banana from Space and Other Stories from Riverstone is a collection of ten gentle, imaginative stories for children ages 6–10. Whimsical, calm, and just a little offbeat, these tales offer wonder without fear, humor without cruelty, and adventure without villains.

Perfect for children moving from picture books to longer stories, this collection is ideal for independent readers and cozy read-alouds alike.
