"The Story of Water"
Shortlisted for the UKLA Book Awards 2020
Via simple but elegant illustrations, and a gentle sometimes playful rhyming text, this picture book passes on all sorts of information about water and its importance, while never losing the sense of the beauty of this essential element. Words and illustrations take us back in time to the beginning of life on Earth, up hills and deep below the surface to explain that “clouds, rain, river, sea, water cycles endlessly”. Carefully placed splashes of colour underscore pages of different blues, the tinkling rhythm of the text bringing a sense of calm. It all concludes with five fascinating facts about the “world wide wet” and this is a book to savour on lots of different levels.

Do you know why the Moon's so dry and yet our world is wet? Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of water and discover the story of H20 from its very beginning. Engaging, informative poetry flows over the pages and stunning illustrations bring this story to rushing, gushing life.
The worlds of poetry and non-fiction collide in Once Upon a Raindrop to create a beautiful, unique picture book about water.
Supporting the school curriculum subject of water, this book also showcases poetry at it’s very best – playful, rhythmic, entertaining and informative. This book, much like Carter’s earlier visual and poetic non-fiction title Once Upon a Star is brilliant for reading aloud.
