This beautifully illustrated eBook introduces children to the concept of the water cycle. In the story, a little girl captures a talking snowflake, who explains how she started as a drop of water in the ocean that evaporated and eventually turned into a snowflake. You can participate in some of the pages, by moving the sun around to cause the water to evaporate or shaking snowflakes from clouds. In addition, fact windows are presented, providing scientifically correct definitions of each key concept. The big idea? The circulation of water has gone on for billions of years, and it will continue once again. The content makes it easy to jump between pages, and teacher options let you adjust the text, music and sound effects; or toggle between English & Persian (Farsi).
