Follow a tiny raindrop as it brings the world to life in this beautiful water cycle story with gentle, rhyming text to read aloud. The raindrop flows through rivers, lakes and streams - all the way to the ocean. It then rises back into the atmosphere as steam, cooling into clouds and falling all over again. A magical cycle that keeps us all alive, and allows our planet to thrive.

See how life-sustaining water falls as rain, surges in tropical storms and flurries in snow storms in this enlightening story that includes:

A full explanation of the water cycle, put in simple and gentle terms for even the youngest readers to understand

Engaging, informative poetry flowing over the pages

Stunning illustrations bringing this incredible water story to rippling, flowing life

A beautiful fold-out ending scene, celebrating water, life and even muddy puddles!

Additional non-fiction information about the water cycle at the back
