Everyone knows that keeping clean is important, especially in today's world. But how do we make sure that our children understand this importance, too? Look no further than this book, Soap and Water. Author Sharon Robertson offers a fun and creative way for kids to be aware of the germs and bacteria floating all around us and provides a lesson on how to keep their hands clean. Written to the rhythm of the song "Frère Jacques," Soap and Water engages young readers with a playful and educational tune that will teach them the importance of washing their hands. Kids can sing along while following the five easy steps to wash their hands: wet, lather, scrub, rinse, and dry. Get your soap in hand and turn on the faucet to start lathering, making bubbles, and getting those hands nice and shiny! Maintaining healthy habits is essential in staying happy and healthy, but it can be difficult to teach children why they are necessary. The solution to this problem lies within these pages. With this book, parents can ease their worries by reading (or singing!) it to their children so that they may learn the value of scrubbing and rubbing those hands together with soap and water. Then, they can put the rhyme into practice by performing the activity so that it really sticks in their minds. Sharon Robertson is a Michigan resident that has over twenty years of experience working with young children. The idea for Soap and Water came to her when the COVID-19 outbreak took hold of the world. Sharon wanted to create an exciting way for children to say "no" to germs, welcome a healthy lifestyle, and discover a new melody along the way.
