Dormancy Fun Fact #3
My book, WAIT, REST, PAUSE: DORMANCY IN NATURE comes out on September 3, 2019. During the week leading up to the launch, I’m sharing fun facts about dormancy. Most of these are outtakes–things that couldn’t fit into the book fully. My hope is that teachers and librarians will share these fun facts with their students as a springboard for further inquiry.
What is dormancy?
Dormancy is suspended activity. It’s when something in nature is inactive or asleep. I wrote a book about dormancy in nature.
Available from Millbrook Press on September 3, 2019.

Did you know?Did you know?: Some animals, like wood frogs, freeze in the colder temperatures. They are known as “freeze tolerant.” Wood frogs even stop breathing when frozen. But this is only a temporary state.
