Watch raindrops dance down into the forest…and form freshwater pools among the leaves of a bromeliad plant. Did you know that a tiny habitat can form in a small pool of water among the leaves of a plant? In the rainforest, bromeliad plants live in the trees and have wide leaves that catch rainwater.

This stunning addition to the Tiny Habitats series will make a wonderful story time offering. Dive headfirst into the lush pages of this rainforest read. -- Kirkus * 06/01/2025 *

Hevron’s latest foray takes readers to a South American rainforest, where her focus is the “freshwater pools [that form] among the leaves of a bromeliad” (a flowering plant)—specifically, the many species that thrive in that habitat over a year. The brief sensory-rich text brims with pertinent information; the friendly-looking species that live in or visit the pool add comments via speech bubbles in the lively mixed-media art, enhancing the humor and child appeal. -- Horn Book * November/December * This stunning addition to the Tiny Habitats series will make a wonderful story time offering.
