Book Overview

Meet Eon, the tardigrade, and a curious kid who does her most-est to make this microscopic superhero a home. From a Governor General Literary Award-winning illustrator comes a poignant picture book about the tiniest pet imaginable, featuring incredible paper artwork and a beautiful foldout page.

Who ambles and plods like a bear and is the tiniest tickle in the palm of a hand?

Eon, that's who! Eon is a tardigrade (also known as a water bear or a moss piglet). When an inquisitive girl discovers him while looking through her microscope, she's captivated -- and decides she wants to take care of him. But what does a tardigrade need? A table, a chair or maybe a rug? What about a swing, a ferris wheel or a rocket? Using paper, scissors and her imagination, this aspiring young artist and scientist creates mini habitats for Eon and learns the secrets of this fascinatingly resilient creature along the way.

Featuring intricate paper sculpture from Cybele Young and cut paper art from collaborator Nell Jocelyn, this playful and touching tale of a tardigrade is a loving reminder that sometimes the best way of caring for someone is letting go . . .
