Description
Water is a shape-shifter, a life-giver, an almost magical thing. Explore the journey of water from the sea, to your glass, to your cells.
From sea to clouds.
From clouds to rain.
From rain to lake.
From lake to glass.
Water is a shape-shifter.
Take a big gulp.
Can you taste the sea?
In this ode to water, learn how the lifecycle of water works. All the water on earth is all there ever was, and all there ever will be. So, the next time you pour a glass of water, take a moment to think about all the wonderful things this life-giving resource does.
Author Laura Alary’s free verse breaks big ideas into child-sized pieces, making Sea in my Cells an accessible introduction to the water cycle. Andrea Blinick’s illustrations take readers from the kitchen to the ocean and to the clouds and back. A concluding Author’s Note shares further information about the water cycle for young readers.

Beautifully illustrated and written! It's like stream of consciousness scientifically, and talking all about the beautiful things water is and does for us... Needless to say I'm buying a copy for my classroom when this publishes!

This is a book about the life cycle of water - how water can move from the sea into your cells and back out again. The illustrations are great.

This is a perfect introduction to the water cycle for young children. It's not only informative and engaging, allowing children to really think as they read, but it's also charmingly illustrated!
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love the cover the illustration is lovely. I also love the illustrations throughout the book as well. I love how the story teaches kids about the water cycle in a fun way.

I enjoyed reading this book, but I think that it felt a little too poetic for the subject matter. The two didn't exactly work with each other because they didn't fit together. Allow me to explain a bit more: this book aims to teach kids about the cycle of water, and how it relates to us humans. The facts about water and the path it takes were written in more a fancy and poetic style, making the information seem less "realistic" or "plausible" (even though all of it is true). However, despite this disconnect, that doesn't mean that the book was "bad", and it was a rather faint/small issue in the grand scheme of things. The information given was actually very interesting, and I definitely think that kids will be fascinated to learn how water gets to them and where it goes after them. The illustrations definitely showed this journey in a literal, yet still fun way. The illustrator didn't leave really any blank space on the pages, which made for a highly immersive book.
Overall, this is a good book but could have been a bit more connected.
