These books introduce children to the nation’s watershed, the
Continental Divide, and how snowmelt forms the headwaters of the rivers
and streams that bring life to the land below along the front range of
the Rocky and San Juan Mountains. The entire water cycle is described
from evaporation to glacier formation, and the various life zones along
the way—from alpine tundra to prairie and farmland—are detailed and
illustrated with exquisite drawings. There is further discussion on how
we use water, the treatment process, and what happens to water it after
we use it.
Inspired by the author’s third grade class in Boulder, CO, these
books also feature illustrations from students in elementary
clasrooms from both Colorado and surrounding rocky mountain states.
