Celebrate the diversity and biodiversity of Central Park in this fascinating exploration of urban parks, from the New York Times bestselling author and award-winning illustrator of the beloved Over and Under series!
Part of the acclaimed nature book series that includes Over and Under the Pond, Over and Under the Coral Reef, and Over and Under the Snow, this volume follows four different families as they explore the four seasons of Central Park in New York City.
Over the park, children soar on swings while dragonflies hover and dart. Blackbirds trill octaves above a cellist’s deeply moving melody. And under the park, where earthworms wiggle in the soil and tadpoles nibble on algae, there waits a whole population of painted turtles and woolly bear caterpillars, of fluffy raccoons and chipmunks whose cheeks are stuffed with seeds. Welcome each new season with a new sense of community—of families, friends, and wildlife—over and under the park.
New York Times–bestselling author Kate Messner is passionately curious and has written more than 70 books for kids who wonder, too. Her titles include award-winning picture books such as Over and Under the Snow, Over and Under the Wetland, Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt, and The Next Scientist, as well as novels and nonfiction for older readers. Kate lives on Lake Champlain with her family and has managed to summit all 46 Adirondack High Peaks in between book deadlines. Learn more at katemessner.com.
