A loving portrayal of a never-forgotten connection with the natural world.
But would there be enough water to fill the pond? Can they bring the Pond back?.
Can Matt\'s discovery transform a forgotten Pond to its natural wonder? With his idea of making the Pond whole again, Matt rallies his friends, Katie and Pablo, and together they work through the spring, clearing debris, moving rocks to hold the water, and looking for leaks.
With quiet appreciation, Matt can imagine the Pond that must once have been there, shining in the early spring light, freezing in the winter for skating and the perfect place for swimming in the summer.
When Matt is out for a late winter hike he sees a trickle of water in the old deserted and junk filled dirt pit at the edge of his neighborhood. -- Publishers Weekly , starred review The joy of the seasons, the wonder of discovery, and the appreciation and respect for the natural world is at the heart of this book, drawn from the childhood of award-winning illustrator Jim LaMarche. -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review It\'s a powerful vision of making one\'s own wild place, with no special equipment or expenditure required.
