Water – our life force, for creatures great and small, including mankind.

A small boy called Issac is playing in water, marveling at its wonder as many small children do. Raindrops suddenly sprinkle across the pool in front of him, and with delight he pours his own jar of water to join the raindrops. Where will his water go? Following a stream then a river by boat, Issac reaches the ocean, and knows his water is now on a journey of its own.

His water is swallowed by whales, frozen into icebergs and thrown on beaches in giant waves. The water travels through warmer climates on its journey, far from the small boy. The water forms mist and rain and we finds ourselves back with Issac at his pool, with a sprinkling of raindrops on the pool….

The water cycle like you’ve never seen before. There is no other word for these illustrations except STUNNING!
