Time to Rhyme
CA Native Plants & Animals
​by Fatima Mohammed

Learn about California's native plants and animals through sometimes humorous and thoroughly enjoyable poetry. Fatima’s poems roar! They hunt, they peck, they hiss, they rhyme, they educate, and they even heal! Every page contains a fascinating critter or a plant you might be tempted to pick up or pet—which as you will learn…might not always be your best bet. Crack open this collection when you crave an up-close encounter with California’s most extraordinary wildlife.

This naturalist’s work is both a delightful adventure and a poetic primer on California’s precious, native creatures and plants. Fatima’s work gifts her readers with the art and poetry which only nature provides. While reading this book, for a moment in turn, you will become The Mountain Lion—savoring its prey...The Wise Oak Tree—clamoring with squirrels…and The Snowy Egret—swallowing a wriggling minnow, whole… As a California native, student of nature, poetry, and art—I am inspired by these poems which spring-off the pageand vividly come to life in my mind, transporting me back to the trails, arroyos, forests, and unforgettable vistas of our Golden State. Raundi Moore-Kondo—author & writing coach"Despite her young age, Fatima has constructed a playful collection of poetry that is whimsically hilarious and yet immensely educational. Her rhymes stretch the bounds of imagination and will be treasured by readers of all ages. Personally, I learned a great deal about the plants and animals she depicted, all while getting a good laugh." Mustafa Umar“As a long-time Naturalist and educator, I couldn’t find a better poetry book myself on trying to explain and teach about California’s rich flora and fauna. Every poem leaves you with an eager excitement to see the plant or animal in person and a curiosity to learn more about it.” Sama Wareh, Author of How to Draw 60 Native CA Plants and Animals: A Field Guide
