![]() 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() 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 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. 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. An informative afterword gives more scientific details about the process outlined in the rather whimsical main text. 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. Water is always water in this lovely picture-book, but that doesn't mean it always stays the same. ![]()
