About this story
The friends follow a singing river from quiet ponds to coral reefs, then climb rocky mountain ridges under a sky full of stars. They meet shimmering schools of fish, five-armed sea stars, waving anemones, and sure-footed mountain goats — and discover how every drop of water is connected. Across 50 fact-filled scenes about rivers, tide pools, reefs, and ridges, children learn how animals stay safe together and why wild places should be left just as we found them. An underwater-and-mountaintop journey for young explorers.
