From the creators of the Caldecott Honor Book "Song of the Water
Boatman and Other Pond Poems "comes a celebration of ubiquitous
life forms among us. Newbery Honor-winning poet Joyce Sidman
presents another unusual blend of fine poetry and fascinating
science illustrated in exquisite hand-colored linocuts by Caldecott
Honor artist Beckie Prange.
Ubiquitous (yoo-bik-wi-tuhs): Something that is (or seems to be)
everywhere at the same time.
Why is the beetle, born 265 million years ago, still with us today?
(Because its wings mutated and hardened). How did the gecko survive
160 million years? (By becoming nocturnal and developing sticky toe
pads.) How did the shark and the crow and the tiny ant survive
millions and millions of years? When 99 percent of all life forms
on earth have become extinct, why do some survive? And survive not
just in one place, but in many places: in deserts, in ice, in lakes
and puddles, inside houses and forest and farmland? Just how do
they become ubiquitous?
