What Do I See When I Stop To Look?

What Do I See when I Stop To Look? takes the reader on a walk to a nearby pond to discover various creatures and species that live there. Situated in the city is a nature preserve that has been created out of the city's drainage pond. Two kids, Imani (African American girl, age 9) and Anthony (Chinese American boy, age 8) meet up after school and go exploring. On their mini-adventure, they discover two kinds of grasshoppers, a dragonfly, and a damselfly among other animals and even a clue to an anonymous visitor (raccoon tracks). They are able to specifically name the creatures because of their intimate encounters. Along the way, they collect field notes, photos, and nature's treasures.
