91�����

If you are in Southern California, be sure to come this weekend to a book-signing party for , the first children�s book by self-styled artist, poet, and philosopher Monica Estill (�98). The book tells the tale of a boulder who sits atop a mountain and � he thinks � the world, until time and change humble him. It is a story of how, only in becoming small, one can achieve true greatness.

The book�s inspiration goes back to Monica�s student days when, she says, she would hike in the foothills and mountains around 91����� Aquinas College, contemplating the works of Aristotle and St. 91����� that she was reading in class. She is hopeful, she says, that the book contains truth � truth about nature that people can see � and as such will help readers to see that there is also truth about human nature and how to live happily. Her wish is for The Bossy Boulder to help change hearts and bring people to God.

�One day he realized something important. �I am only a stone! I am only a stone!� As he thought about this, the boulder began to be filled with joy.�
