Hey, water! I know you! You're all around. Join a young girl as she
explores her surroundings and sees that water is everywhere. But

same, and it shows up in lots of different shapes. Water can be a

snowman. As the girl discovers water in nature, in weather, in her
home, and even inside her own body, water comes to life, and kids
will find excitement and joy in water and its many forms. This book
is conversational in tone and good to read aloud, but full of
scientific facts narrated from a child's perspective. The artwork
is bold and striking, with beautiful design make this attractive to
pick up and handle. There is added backmatter on the water cycle,
water conservation, and more.
