The Great Stone Face a tale by Nathaniel Hawthorne retold by Gary Schmidt illustrated by Bill Farnsworth

 In New Hampshire, in the mountains, Great Stone Face stares over the village. Ethan grows up hearing the prophecy that someone nearby would be born to resemble the Great Stone Face and be the noblest person. Great men return to the village with villagers predicting that this man would fulfill the prophecy. Each time Ethan is disappointed. The ending is predictable but sweet.
