What creature sees colors that humans can't? What insect hides in a nest of bubbles? What plant is poisonous to all nibblers but one? Discover the hidden world of the meadow in this unique combination of poetry riddles and science wisdom.Beginning with the rising sun and ending with twilight, this book takes us on a tour through the fields, encouraging us to watch for a nest of rabbits, a foamy spittlebug, a leaping grasshopper, bright milkweed, a quick fox, and a cruising hawk. With outstanding scratchboard illustrations that capture the lush tapestry of a meadow and with poetry both enchanting and precise, this book reveals not only how things of the glade are dependent upon one another, but how this world is a surprising and ever-changing drama. AUTHOR: Joyce Sidman says that one of her most powerful memories from childhood is of being out in a meadow at dawn, watching the chilly insects cling to her bits of grass and stem, and listening to the chatter of birds. ?There is something about a meadow that has always enchanted me ?, she writes. ?Its in-betweenness, maybe: the intersection of forest and open space; the magical glade of fairy tales that one stumbles upon, drenched in sunlight after the darkness of the woods.? She is the award winning author of Song of the Waterboatman and Other Pond Poems, a Caldecott Honor Book; Meow Ruff: A Story in Concrete Poetry; and The World According to Dog. Beth Krommes says that she first fell in love with the meadows and the outdoors on childhood trips to her grandmother's house, surrounded by meadows, on the side of Sugarloaf Mountain in Pennsylvania. She is the award winning illustrator of The Lamp, the Ice, and the Boat Called Fish; The Hidden Folk; and Grandmother Winter.
