Additional information
by Rochelle Strauss (Author), Madelyn Goodnight (Illustrator)
A lyrical informational picture book about the water cycle, based on the global bestseller One Well.
Award-winning author Rochelle Strauss's picture book adaptation of her bestselling book One Well invites readers to notice how water is flowing all around them, in streams and rivers and oceans and even underground. The book shows that water - our most precious resource, needed by everyone and everything on Earth - is finite. Even though that water constantly circles from Earth to the sky and back down again, all the water on Earth is ... well, all the water we'll ever have. So, everyone needs to help protect it!
Part of the CitizenKid collection for younger readers, this book is an engaging primer on water, using accessible text and loads of illustrations. It includes easy-to-understand explanations of where water is found - freshwater and saltwater bodies of all types, rain and dew, ice and snow and even steam - how the water cycle works, who needs water and what it's used for, as well as today's global water concerns. With art by bestselling illustrator Madelyn Goodnight that colorfully captures the wonders of nature from a child's perspective, it's a perfect read-aloud to spark deeper discussions and inspire budding water conservationists. The content is supported by back matter that includes discussion questions as well as an author's note and a list of resources for further learning.
