A gorgeously illustrated picture book, Pond is an endearing story of curiosity, imagination and wonder.
When Matt discovers a trickle of water from "the Pit", his curiosity gets the better of him and he along with his sister and best friend, join forces to miraculously uncover a buried pond.
The children toil laboriously through the seasons clearing debris to make way for the water to meander.
With nature to keep the children company, the trio have a fabulous time in each other's orbit.
Not only do the "birds and bugs" keep them busy, but so do the storms.
The children have a marvelous time while reading a book, or drinking cocoa, or camping under the shelter of nature.
The illustrations by Jim LaMarche are fascinating. I felt like deep diving inside the picture book and taking a trip with the three children and reliving their stories.
At a time when digital gadgets revolve around us, Pond is a delightful story of the hidden gems that nature abounds in.
