Description
Travel with author-illustrator Thomas Locker and follow our planet's most precious resource--water--on its daily journey through our world.
Locker tracks each changing stage across the landscape, watching mountain streams tumble over moss-covered rocks before plunging from stone cliffs as rushing waterfalls.
Winding rivers broaden across golden valleys to join the sea, where cool moonlight dances over open waves. Drawn upward by warm sunlight, rising mists lift into the blue sky to form drifting clouds.
The paintings follow towering thunderheads as they drench the darkened mountains, giving way to quiet air and vibrant rainbows. The Water Cycle: An informative back matter section explains evaporation and condensation, showing how water sustains life across tropical rainforests and arid deserts. Earth Science for Kids: Clear scientific notes reveal global facts, explaining that over seventy percent of the planet is covered by water while only three percent remains freshwater. Weather for Kids: Engaging explanations explore how meeting air masses trigger thunderstorms and how prism-like refraction separates sunlight into seven rainbow colors. Science Picture Book: Readers discover different cloud types in the atmosphere, distinguishing thin feathery cirrus formations and puffy fair-weather cumulus from thick dark stratus blankets. Also by This Author: Cloud Dance, Mountain Dance and Sky Tree.
