Featuring a heartwarming adventure from author Joanna Gray and beautiful pastel illustrations by Dubravka Kolanovic, this lovely story takes parents, boys, and girls on a fun, educational ride through the water cycle.

From cloud to puddle, and puddle to stream, the Little Raindrop is making its way on the remarkable journey that is Earth's water cycle. In this inviting story--illustrated with pastels for a soft, full color--readers are taught about science and nature through a character-driven narrative that leads a little raindrop on a big adventure. With an easy-to-follow plot that teaches precipitation, water flow, and evaporation, The Little Raindrop offers a sweet story full of learning and discovery.

"One dark and stormy day, a little raindrop fell out of a cloud and flew faster and faster through the sky."
