Till Hill and Valley Ring

A spread from a children's picture book in which a frog is extended his tongue very far to reach a lily pad in a pond as a girl in overalls sits and watches him. There are mathematical equations drawn around his head. Text on page reads: Josh explained the physics: the forces of water and gravity pull the stone deeper under the surface. In the air, the stone’s spinning motion provides stability, but it eventually loses speed in a splash. Applying this instruction to each throw, Millie developed the perfect toss. She quickly learned that square stones would veer off at an angle and triangular stones could cut through choppy water. She took a special delight in heavy, lopsided stones because they provided the greatest challenge. Late in the day, Josh declared Millie the best stone skipper in the valley. Her rocks seemed to dance across the fresh mountain water before tumbling into the muddy bank.
