Jane Yolen and Jason Stemple join forces again in this new winning
combination of poems and photos. Water possesses reflective qualities,
creating fascinating patterns and doubled images that allow us to see
things in new ways. Celebrated writer Jane Yolen and photographer Jason
Stemple capture these natural beauties in twelve thoughtful poems and
breathtaking pictures in this winner of the John Burroughs Nature Books
for Young Readers Award. Watery reflections provide an appropriate
backdrop for Jane's musings on nature, such as a raccoon swimming with
his reflected self, the water-jagged legs of a snowy egret, and the
double danger of a hungry alligator at the edge of a swamp. Jason's
photographs offer whimsical peeks at the natural world we rarely chance
to see. This artistic collaboration gives readers a unique opportunity
to contemplate their world.
