The Water Tales: Ten Life Lessons from My Water Buddy and Family
is an adventurous collection of ten short children's stories that uses anthropomorphic body and organ characters to tell ten different tales centered around the importance of water.
Each tale is cleverly built around each of the eleven members of My Water Buddy and Family® who are all focused on the beneficial impact of water in our bodies.
The main characters embody the major body parts that are important to drinking water including: The body (My Water Buddy), the blood (Flowy the Blood Drop), the bones (Boney the Bone), the brain (Whizzy the Brain), the heart (Pumpy the Heart), the kidneys (Gushy & Flushy the Twin Kidneys), the lungs (Airy & Breezy the Twin Lungs), the muscles (Brawny the Muscle), and the stomach (Tummy the Stomach).
In addition to motivating young readers to drink water, the stories tap into life topics important to children: autism, bullying, fears, self-esteem, peer pressure, etc.
