Over and Under the Pond

A follow-up to Over and Under the Snow and Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt, this lyrical book explores the vibrant ecosystem of a mountain pond. As a parent and child paddle through lily pads, they glimpse frogs leaping, turtles sliding into the water, and loons calling across the surface. Beneath them, a hidden world thrives—crayfish scuttle, leeches lurk, and tiny creatures break down leaves, keeping the pond alive.

An author’s note dives deeper into the remarkable balance of this wetland habitat, where plants and animals work together to sustain life above and below the surface.
