Dormancy Fun Fact #1
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?Volcanoes can be dormant. Volcanoes are divided into three categories: active, dormant, extinct. Dormant volcanoes aren’t active, but it’s possible they could erupt again. Crater Lake (Oregon, USA) is inside a dormant volcano.
