Part girl-power, part cautionary tale, The Hunt is a wordless picture book in which girls rock and bullies lose. A young girl builds and rebuilds a rock sculpture despite the efforts of two hunters to shoot her creation to bits every time she makes some progress. The girl persists, her sculpture taking shape and teaching the hunters a lesson about the creative spirit and the pointlessness of violence.
