# Speck: An Itty-Bitty Epic - Hardcover

by **Margaux Meganck** (Author)

**Everything and everyone has a place in the universe, but for a little speck, lost at sea, it will take an extraordinary journey to find it.**

_Deep in a tide pool, too small to see,_  
_Thousands of tiny specks go forth._  
_Each one searching_  
_for a place to stay, and grow, and thrive..._

The little speck does not know what it is, only that it wishes to find out. And so it embarks on a journey across the sea. From sun-flecked surf to darkest depths, past schools of fish, storm-tossed ships and hungry eels.... Until, at last, it finds exactly what it was looking for: a place to belong.

In vivid watercolor paintings, Margaux Meganck brings this tale to life, seamlessly shifting perspective to show how even the tiniest creatures--every barnacle, every child, every star in the sky--contributes to something greater than itself.

### Author Biography

MARGAUX MEGANCK spends her days dodging raindrops and drawing from her imagination in beautiful Portland, Oregon. From nannying, to early childhood art education, to children's bookshops, Margaux has always worked with and around children's literature. So it came as no surprise when she started illustrating and writing for children. Margaux's author-illustrator debut, _People Are Wild_, received two starred reviews and was named a Kirkus best book of the year. Her illustration work has also earned multiple accolades from the Junior Library Guild (JLG) and Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). _Speck_ is the second book she both wrote and illustrated.
