This beautiful tale follows a raindrop's journey on Earth, from the time of the dinosaurs to the creation of the earliest cities and beyond. It explains how Earth has depended on the same water supply throughout its existence by flowing and falling all around us, fueling and forming much of what we have seen and used for millions of years. Featuring beautiful narration and educational back matter including an explanation of the water cycle, the importance of water conservation, and resources for further learning, this book introduces a new understanding of our planet and encourages mindfulness and action when it comes to caring for the environment.

      Simon Vance is one of those narrators who makes listening to anything a pure pleasure. This audiobook is no exception. His exquisite diction elevates the alliterative, poetic text, highlighting the wonder and awe of one raindrop's epic journey through time. Following this one raindrop, children will be amazed to learn that the same water supply has been recirculating on Earth via the water cycle for millions of years. With the reverent tone of a kindly professor, Vance pulls listeners in and encourages them to contemplate the importance of water in all its forms on our planet. Music and watery sound effects further enhance the mood of this inspiring and educational audiobook. S.C. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
