Water is flowing all around us; in nature, in the home, and even
inside our bodies. In this descriptive storybook, young readers
will dive into simple explanations of the different states of
water, how weather cycles work, how water reaches our homes, and
how crucial it is for daily life. They'll soak up some startling
statistics, too - did you know, three quarters of the Earth's
surface is covered in water? This title is part of the My First
Discovery paperback series - a unique collection of beautifully
illustrated information books for children aged 4 to 7, with simple
language to aid learning and realistic artwork to inspire young
minds. There are 8 transparent overlay pages, which reveal hidden
surprises and make the pages come alive. With free access to a
brand new audio app, children can listen and read along at their
own pace, page by page.
"Waiting for Wings" is based upon the true story of Angel Rae's
journey from shelter dog to therapy dog. As a therapy dog, Angel is
content to lay still while school children use her as a pillow and
read books to her. While doing her job, she notices a little boy
sitting alone in the corner. Why is he waiting? Angel eventually
learns why Timmy is waiting, and her story inspires all of us to
find our wings and take flight.
