“This intriguing, oversized title combines science and story to explore water in all its forms . . . [Mihaly] addresses readers directly, with respect for their capacity. Thoughtful, engaging design and lively illustrations add further appeal. Oceanic in scope — but clear and refreshing” – Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“I am diving right into this book and it’s making a big splash. Each page invites further learning with flaps to explore and lift throughout.
