Description

Water is water, puddle, pond, sea. But now can you guess what else it can be?Water can be a . . .thirst quencher, kid drencher, cloud fluffer, fire snuffer. Find out about the many roles water plays in this poetic exploration of water throughout the year.Laura Purdie Salas's lyrical, rhyming text and Violeta Dabija's glowing illustrations make simple yet profound observations about seemingly ordinary objects and encourage readers to suggest "what else it can be!" Using metaphors for a leaf (tree topper / rain stopper), a rock (hopscotch marker / fire sparker), and water (thirst quencher / kid drencher), these insightful picture books creatively highlight a variety of roles and relationships in nature.

Reviews

"[A] contemplative and thought-provoking ode to the forms water takes and the functions it serves, both practical and whimsical." --starred, Publishers Weekly

"Dabija's illustrations, created with a combination of traditional and digital techniques and filled with simple shapes and vivid, vibrant colors, are misty, scratchy, sometimes-impressionistic, always atmospheric--in a word, beautiful....Kids of all ages will gain a new appreciation for water, and Salas and Dabija will surely gain new fans." --starred, Kirkus Reviews

"The text is perfect for creating mental images and showing children what the words look like. The traditional and digital media used for the illustrations create a delicate tone for the book. Each page has an ethereal beauty that brings the text to life." --School Library Journal
