      Water is always water in this lovely picture-book, but that doesn't mean it always stays the same. Author Miranda Paul explores the many states of H2O, from liquid to vapor to ice, and every step in between, in her poetic text, one which highlights the involvement of a group of children in the water cycle over the course of a year. An informative afterword gives more scientific details about the process outlined in the rather whimsical main text. Artist Jason Chin, whose own natural history picture-books include such titles as Redwoods and Coral Reefs, contributes the watercolor and gouache illustrations here.I really enjoyed Water Is Water, which I have added to that list of children's picture-books which blend the instructional with the delightful, offering both an imaginative and an informative element in their texts. This is something for which Jason Chin is particularly known, so I wasn't surprised to see that he had accepted the commission to create the artwork here, as I feel that it is definitely his kind of book. Needless to say, the artwork itself was simply gorgeous, capturing the beauty and wonder of the entire water cycle, as experienced by a group of children. This is my first book from Miranda Paul, but I certainly hope it won't be my last, as I was just as impressed with the text, as I was with the visuals. Highly recommended to anyone looking for children's books that make science and natural history fun and engaging.

      LOVE this one! Fantastic baby/toddler/preschool/older siblings. Can be scaled up or down in age with use of substantial endnotes. Absolutely gorgeous, intricate watercolors (of course!) we saw new creatures & details with every read. Story times: would work best in smaller groups to truly enjoy the illustrations, but nicely rhythmic with a fun cadence. The best explanation of the water cycle in a children's book- so simple, clear, & relatable- the examples are all things even itty bitties will understand.
    • 5/5
      Not only is this a really beautifully illustrated book, but the presentation of the ideas is both simple and clever. The whole thing just works really well together and does a wonderful job of getting the idea across.

      water cycle and more - pleasant rhyme and pictures

      I really liked this book about the water cycle. The pictures are gorgeous and the text rhymes and shows the different parts of the water cycle.
    • 5/5
      A beautifully illustrated and simply wonderful evocation of the water cycle, following two mixed race children as they observe and delight in the outdoor world. Clever links between states of water and pages inform readers with rhyming text and lush illustrations. What child has not seen shapes in the clouds? "A dragon in a wagon? A crow kneading dough? " The water cycle is explained in more detail in an afterword. Especially helpful are the percentages of water in familiar things: "A baby is about 78% water. A cat is about 80% water. An oak tree is about 75% water. You are about 65% water." Lists for further reading and a select bibliography are appended.
