It Starts With A Raindrop cover

This charming tale follows a raindrop's journey through the water cycle, highlighting its crucial role in sustaining life on Earth in It Starts With A Raindrop.

In It Starts With A Raindrop, readers embark on a delightful journey alongside a tiny raindrop as it navigates the intricate water cycle. This enchanting rhyming story illustrates how a simple drop of water can bring life and vitality to our planet. Through gentle, lyrical text, children are introduced to the wonders of nature, making it easy for even the youngest readers to grasp the importance of water in our ecosystem.

As the raindrop travels through rivers, lakes, and streams, it eventually makes its way to the vast ocean. The story captures the beauty of this cycle, showing how the raindrop rises back into the atmosphere as steam, transforms into clouds, and eventually falls again as rain, snow, or in tropical storms. This magical process not only sustains life but also enriches the earth, allowing it to flourish.

The book features stunning illustrations that bring the narrative to life, along with engaging poetry that flows seamlessly across the pages. A special fold-out ending scene celebrates the joy of water, life, and even the simple pleasure of muddy puddles. With additional non-fiction information about the water cycle included at the back, It Starts With A Raindrop is a charming tale that educates readers of all ages about the vital role water plays in our world.

“With lyrical poetry and gentle illustrations, this classic picture book explains the water cycle through the journey of a tiny raindrop.”
