Reimagining a classic nursery rhyme, Over in the Mangroves is an enchanting and multilayered picture book about the interconnected animals of the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest.

Over in the mangroves by the river in the sun, slinks a fierce mama tiger and her little tiger one.

Inspired by the classic nursery rhyme, Over in the Mangroves is a fresh take that layers counting and social emotional moments into a beautiful interactive tale. From dawn to dusk, this enchating story follows forest animals as they fish, swim, dig, and bask before a storm sends them all searching for shelter among the mangrove trees.

Set in the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest -- a UNESCO World Heritage site straddling India and Bangladesh -- Over in the Mangroves uses lyrical rhyming text to explore the interconnected creatures who call this forest their home. Lavish illustrations will draw readers in, and children will love searching for more creatures hiding among the trees. Extensive back matter includes an author's note and more information on the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest and the animals found inside the book!

A delightful read-aloud that kids are sure to turn to again and again.
