Song of the Water Boatman and Other Pond Poems by Joyce Sidman
From spring's first thaw to autumn's chill, the world of the pond is a dramatic place. Though seemingly quiet, ponds are teeming with life and full of surprises. Their denizens--from peepers to painted turtles, duckweed to diving beetles--lead secret and fascinating lives. A unique blend of whimsy, science, poetry, and hand-colored woodcuts, this Caldecott Honor-winning collection invites us to take a closer look at our hidden ponds and wetlands. Here is a celebration of their beauty and their mystery.Joyce Sidman, a Newbery Honor and Sibert Medalist, is today's best children's nature poet. Two Caldecott Honors, a Lee Bennet Hopkins Award, a Claudia Lews Award winner, and numerous stars and best of lists have all been bestowed upon her works. She received the Prize for Excellence in Poetry for Children for her award-winning body of work. She is a resident of Wayzata, Minnesota. Visit www.joycesidman.com for more information.
