A collection of poems that provide a look at some of the animals, insects, and plants that are found in ponds, with accompanying information about each.

"Branches are all around us: in butterfly wings, on gecko toes, in flowers, frost, and mud. Whether as electricity moving across the sky or rivers flowing to the sea, branches are nature's most efficient way to spread and to connect. They are even found inside our own bodies, helping us reach and grow with each breath and heartbeat. Branches--strong, hopeful, beautiful--are the shape of life. How many can you find [in this illustrated poem]?"--

Illustrated poems depict the fairies who live among the plants of autumn.

Poems about the plant and insect world, designed to be read by two voices.
