For new readers, language learners, and early elementary comics fans.

Are you planning to wear a costume this week? A costume can transform you into anything you can imagine! Did you know that water can also transform? Read on to find out more!

☀️SUNNY SKIES by Geoff and Ashlee Wagner

One water droplet does a cannonball into the ocean! The second water droplet holds up a star for the great jump! In the second panel, four water droplets float on top of the ocean as the hot sun blazes. Clouds are forming in the sky. In the third panel, three water droplets float up into the air, indicating evaporation. One droplet is flapping its arms. Another is excitedly raising its arms. And the third has dizzy, spinning eyes. In the final panel, a large cloud is forming, showing condensation, as the new droplets join that cloud.

☀️ First, a riddle! How is water like a superhero?

Give up?

Water is like a superhero because it can easily change appearances! (Think Super Man and Clark Kent’s glasses) Water can be a solid, a liquid, or a gas. This is called The Water Cycle!

☀️☀️Why do you think it is important to first understand the water cycle before learning about how hurricanes form?

For established, advancing, and upper elementary comics fans.
