Dip into any page of this fun, fact-filled book and discover the
endless ways that water impacts and sustains life on earth.
Water is our planet's most important resource, yet it's easy to overlook
its significance in our daily life.
This kaleidoscopic journey across the planet offers fascinating insights
into how water is connected to the air we breathe, the food we eat, and
how our own actions can upset the delicate balance of its cycle. Readers
will learn about how water journeys from ocean to sky to mountains,
rivers, soil and back again; how water purification works; the flora and
fauna of the rainforest; cloud formations and the weather they predict;
natural phenomena such as the tiger bush; why rivers flood; what causes
a tsunami.
Presented in lively and engaging double-page spreads, each topic is
explored with quirky illustrations, trivia, and sidebars that encourage
further exploration and experimentation. Best of all, it makes young
readers aware just how deeply entwined their futures are with the health
of our planet's water.
