Baloo & the Pond That Held Everything is an illustrated narrative introduction to physics, structured as four koan-like fables paired with accessible essays. A puppy and a frog explore quantum superposition, higher dimensions and the block universe, the golden ratio in nature, and the deep question of why physical law exists at all.

Rendered in graphite illustrations with a single recurring red accent, it is an all-ages gift book in the tradition of The Tao of Pooh and Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, aimed at readers 12 and up.

A companion tale to The Weight of a Dog.

Lucio, Alex: - "Alex Lucio has spent his career at the intersection of engineering and biology - building systems that sustain human life, studying the mechanics of how living things hold themselves together. The science in this novel is not decorative. Baloo and Bella are real. They live in Central Florida. They are not particularly impressed by any of this."
