Pondering: A Story in Cinquains

This lyrically written and gorgeously illustrated ode to ponds is crafted in a uniquely American poetic form called American cinquain . In this glorious celebration of nature, three girls walk an old trail in search of a hidden pond, marveling at treasures they discover along the way—darting dragonflies, croaking bullfrogs, fluttering sycamore leaves, and more. Written in a unique poetic form called American cinquain , the story seamlessly weaves together an invitation to readers to immerse themselves in nature, while also bringing attention to this endangered ecosystem. The info-packed pages at the end of the book include an overview of the pond ecosystem and the current threat to it, as well as an exploration of the cinquain form.
