Bookroo's summary

Explore the poetic journey of water as it transforms from a thirst quencher to a cloud fluffer. Through vivid metaphors, uncover the hidden roles of nature's elements, sparking curiosity and wonder. What else can water be?

From the publisher

Water is water, puddle, pond, sea. But now can you guess what else it can be? Water can be a . . .thirst quencher, kid drencher, cloud fluffer, fire snuffer. Find out about the many roles water plays in this poetic exploration of water throughout the year.Laura Purdie Salas’s lyrical, rhyming text and Violeta Dabija’s glowing illustrations make simple yet profound observations about seemingly ordinary objects and encourage readers to suggest “what else it can be!” Using metaphors for a leaf (tree topper / rain stopper), a rock (hopscotch marker / fire sparker), and water (thirst quencher / kid drencher), these insightful picture books creatively highlight a variety of roles and relationships in nature.
