Right in time for Earth Day, we have This Raindrop: Has a Billion Stories to Tell<\/em> by Linda Ragsdale and illustrated by Srimalie Bassani at Growing with Science blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This picture book…
\nStarts with a single raindrop that “has billions of stories to tell” then follows it through time and space at it cycles again and again. Readers will be thrilled as the words flow like water.<\/p>\n

This picture book…
\nHas incredibly imaginative illustrations that play with perspective, zooming in and out, then up and down from spread to spread.<\/p>\n

This picture book…
\nHas a little something extra. It features a lovely arlin paper cover with foil text enhancements, illustrated end papers, plus back matter including an explanation of the water cycle, the importance of water conservation, and resources for further reading.<\/p>\n

This picture book…
\nCould help save the planet. As the sticker on the cover says, “Every Book [purchased] Plants a Tree.”<\/p>\n

What could be better than that?<\/p>\n
