Is it just a muddy puddle? Look closer! This lyrical picture book invites young readers to explore vernal pools and discover the surprising life hidden inside.

A science-rich picture book for ages 4 to 8 that introduces vernal pools, showing how temporary spring wetlands support frogs, salamanders, and insect life cycles.

A group of families join a nature guide on a springtime walk to carefully observe vernal pools; a safe, temporary nursery. What secrets might these puddles hold?

Each spring, rain and melting snow transform the forest floor into a protected place where frogs, salamanders, and damselflies lay their eggs. The wetland nursery helps all sorts of water babies grow big.

Just a muddy puddle? Look closer to see the slick, wiggly beginnings of life.
