Sometimes the smallest creatures are the most important
The lion may be king of the jungle, but there are plenty of fascinating
tiny critters that are critical to the survival of our planet.
From frogs as small as quarters that indicate the health of entire
ecosystems, to crayon-sized millipedes that recycle dead plants into
vital nutrients for soil, Small but Mighty explores the ways that
small creatures help our environment thrive.
Each spread is packed with STEM content, including descriptions of each
creature, fun facts, and real-life size comparisons. Illustrations of
each animal in its natural habitat, both whimsical and realistic, bring
the creatures to life. This kid-friendly introduction to keystone and
crucial species and ecosystems demonstrates that no creature--including
you!--is too small to make a big difference.
