Perfect for readers of all ages, this captivating picture book teaches children about iguanas' unique behaviors while celebrating the bonds between generations and the wonders of the natural world.

ON A RARE CHILLY DAY IN MIAMI, Florida, young Leila sets off for school bundled up in her bright red jacket. But this isn't just any cold day—her grandmother, Grandma Issa, gives her an unusual warning: "Watch out for falling iguanas."

As Leila navigates her morning, she can't stop thinking about Grandma's strange words. From remembering dodging coconuts and seeing her parents' car being held up by chickens crossing the road to admiring roaming peacocks, Leila's day is full of curious encounters. But nothing prepares her for the moment she sees an iguana drop from a tree.

Join Leila, her close friends, and her teacher Ms. Benoit on an unexpected adventure as they discover why these tropical creatures fall from trees during cold snaps. With charming illustrations by acclaimed Jamaican artist Rachel Moss and a truly heartwarming story, Watch Out for Falling Iguanas is a delightful tale about family, friendship, and the surprises nature can bring.
