Leaves and bacteria, insects and fish, bears and people, too—we're all part of one big circle of growing and eating and living. In this magical arrangement of the Mother Nature, trout are one part of a vast food web centered in streams and rivers. But how can a leaf become a fish? Join two young children and their dads to find out, as they observe life in and around a stream. Energetic collage art and simple, lyrical text depict the ways plants and animals are connected in the food web. Back matter provides information about the trout life cycle as well as conservation efforts that kids can do themselves.
