About this item
“This browsable, superbly designed book is absorbing.”
― Booklist (STARRED REVIEW)
“Wonderful . . . engaging detail . . . a beautiful addition to nonfiction collections looking for books on the subject, and those seeking more translated works.”
― School Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW)
Gorgeously illustrated, fact-filled nonfiction about water in rainstorms, the Great Lakes, the drip from our taps, around the world, and throughout history.
Water is everywhere, and we rely on it every single day. But do you ever stop to wonder about it?
How much water is on our planet? What happens when there is too much water or too little water? Why does it rain? What are lakes, rivers, seas, and oceans? Why are the seas and oceans blue and salty? What lives underwater? What about water in human history―how did people get water in ancient times? How do we get water today? What do humans build to travel on the water, and how have we harnessed waterpower? How do we protect this amazing resource for the future?
Author-illustrator Olga Fadeeva answers these questions and much more in her vibrantly illustrated, fact-filled tour of water through science and history (with characters readers might recognize from Wind: Discovering Air in Motion). Translated from Russian by Lena Traer and part of Eerdmans’ Spectacular STEAM for Curious Readers series.
