About This Book

The book fosters a sense of wonder and makes learning about weather and earth science exciting, making it a perfect choice for visual learners or any child who enjoys comic book formats.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a secular, scientific explanation of a natural process.
Ideal Reader
A 6-year-old who is full of 'why' questions about the weather and their environment. It is also an excellent choice for a reluctant 1st or 2nd grade reader who is drawn to comics and illustrations, providing a bridge to nonfiction science content in a format they already love.
Parent Prep
No preparation is necessary. The book can be read cold. Its clear diagrams and simple definitions for terms like 'evaporation' and 'condensation' make it self-explanatory for both parent and child. It's a great opportunity for co-learning. The parent's child has just asked a question like, 'How are clouds made?' or 'Where does the river water go?' after observing the world around them. The trigger is a moment of spontaneous scientific inquiry from the child.
