Uncover the mysteries of the swamp ecosystem as its plants and animals spring to life through lively rhyme and colorful painted collage.

What would you discover if you visited a swamp? Look and listen for the swamp's fascinating diversity as you search for aquatic snail snacks with the Red Swamp Crayfish, glide alongside the swift-swimming shadows of slender Blackspotted Topminnows, sway in the breeze with the catkins of Smooth Alders, jump from the Wood Duck's nest with day-old ducklings, and take flight with Prothonotary Warbler as he climbs toward the sky like the bright trumpet-shaped flowers of Crossvine. Meet nearly 50 plants and animals living alongside two majestic giants of the swamp, Cypress and Water Tupelo Tree.

A signed copy of Cypress Knees and Tupelo Trees is available at local events and through Et Alia Press.
