Readers of this picture book about the life cycle will meet two insect friends, Lea and Nym, who are water nymphs living in a marsh. One day Lea is missing and Nym looks everywhere for her. Eventually Nym learns that Lea has died and gone to a new world to be a dragonfly. It's a story about the life cycle, but with overtones about death and future life, possibly making it appropriate to use with grieving children. Written by Minnesota author John Adams, with illustrations by Barbara Gibson, this is a simple story to share with young children. Endnotes provide more detail about the life cycle of dragonflies.
