Hey, Water!

Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'why' about the natural world or when you want to transform a rainy afternoon into a moment of scientific wonder. It is the perfect choice for curious minds who are just beginning to notice the patterns of nature in their own backyard, from the steam on a window to the ice cubes in a glass. Antoinette Portis uses poetic, accessible language to introduce the concept of states of matter through a child's everyday encounters with water. The book moves from the playful to the educational, ending with clear diagrams about the water cycle and conservation. It is an ideal bridge between a bedtime story and a science lesson, fostering a deep sense of gratitude for the resources we often take for granted. Recommended for ages 4 to 8, it validates a child's natural curiosity while building a foundational vocabulary for future STEM learning.
