Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
The Book
This is a delightful and informative picture book that is told through the eyes of a snowman. The sun shines down on him causing him to melt. Oh my! What happens to him then is a simple but profound explanation of the water cycle.
His melting transforms him into a water state and he seeps along the ground as a snowman puddle. The sun turns up its heat and vapes the snowman into a cloud. The weather cools down considerably causing him to morph back into snow where he becomes... can you guess? A snowman again!
I love the illustrations which cleverly show that in each stage the eyes of the snowman remain in tact so kids can identify him and understand that although he has changed shape and substance he is still the same snowman. The book is educational, positive and fun! It can also be read as a modern-day fable and offers discussions for deeper reflections on the different stages in our lives. I highly recommend it.
