Description:

Where does the water in your tap really come from? In this beautifully illustrated nonfiction picture book, beloved author-illustrator Arthur Dorros invites young readers to follow the long, winding journey water takes through our world. The trip begins high up on a snowy mountainside, where melting snow trickles into a tiny brook. From there, the brook joins a bubbling stream, the stream grows into a rushing river, and the river tumbles over waterfalls, snakes through deep canyons, fills lakes and reservoirs, and finally spreads out into a delta before flowing into the great wide ocean. Along the way, readers learn how water shapes the land, how people and animals depend on it, and why keeping it clean matters so much. A clear, gentle introduction to the water cycle for budding young scientists, packed with friendly illustrations and easy-to-grasp ideas.
