Drop

Description

A water ride like you’ve never experienced before, featuring the cutest drop of water in all of precipitation.

Meet Drop. She’s water! And she’s seen a thing or two. Yep, even dinosaurs; she’s four and a half billion years old, after all. Everywhere Drop flows–and she flows everywhere–she keeps things moving, making life on earth possible, and having a great time doing it. (Have you ever plummeted from a rain cloud? Or took a thousand-year nap in a glacier? Drop knows how to live right.) With delightful panache and a steady stream of funny one-liners, Drop takes readers on an adventure through the water cycle and beyond. Filled with irresistible artwork, funny asides, and a steady sprinkle of kid-enticing facts, Drop is the story about water you never knew you were thirsting for.
 
“Splashy and original.” —Kirkus
“A stand out from others of its type.” —SLC
“An endearing, conversational introduction to the water cycle.” —PW“[Readers] will enjoy humorous wordplay while absorbing science. Splashy and original.” —Kirkus

“A stand out from others of its type as it maintains simplicity rather than getting bogged down in exotic settings, cute animals, or complicated terminology. . . . Perfect for a science lesson read-aloud for young learners.” —SLC

“Drop, an anthropomorphic water droplet portrayed as a smiling light blue ink splotch [provides] an endearing, conversational introduction to the water cycle.” —Publishers WeeklyEmily Kate Moon has always been a big fan of water. She’s been drinking it and splashing in it all her life! But growing up in California during a long drought meant she didn’t see much of it fall from the sky. It wasn’t until Emily moved to Florida that she met Drop, who showed her a thing or two about the water cycle. Emily is a cloud-gazer and artist. She loves to marvel at the wonders of nature, and writes and paints as a way to appreciate her world. She lives by the beach in Jupiter, Florida, with her two sons and their dog Romeo–who is, as it happens, afraid of water!CN
