The Rainstick, A Fable
40 pages • illustrations • bibliography
A young boy's journey from savanna to rain forest begins with the riddle, "A slender staff touches earth and sky at the same time." Stunning illustrations accompany the boy as he fulfills a quest to bring back the sound of rain to his West African village.

Spring Waters “Gathering Places”
80 pages • illustrations • glossary • references
Five short, beautifully illustrated stories chronicle the use of spring waters by the animal world, native culture, civil war, Oklahoma pioneers, and Teddy Roosevelt. Three sections follow with lessons about the water cycle, the creation of springs, and our bodies' dependence on healthy water.

Water Celebration! A Handbook
32 pages • illustrations • appendix
This book shows you how to plan one to three-day celebrations that entertain and educate a community, school, or single class about the importance of water. Sample schedules, funding suggestions, flyers, and press releases are included, along with successful games, exhibits, and presentations.

Water, A Gift of Nature
48 pages • photos
Spectacular, full-colour photographs fill every page. Science, education, and art combine to make readers familiar with the many faces of water: clouds, rain, hail, snow, icebergs, geysers, rainbows, and waterfalls. Interpretive text details the animals and plants that depend on water from wetland beavers to the desert chuckwalla, and from a coral reef to a saguaro cactus.

Blue Water Blues
Cassette Tape
These songs are meant for young people to sing.  In traditional, sustainable societies, the creative arts were used to bring people together, reinforce the cultural world view and to remind people of their relation to their environment.  We hope that these songs will help young people reconnect with our world and reinforce their commitment to treat our only home with care. The teacher's guide cross-reference's the cassette to the Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide and also includes the lyrics to the songs.

The Liquid Treasure Water History Trunk: Learning From the Past
64 pages • b&w photos • illustrations • appendix
"Using artifacts as our guide we can follow the liquid thread back through the millennia. Every article in a Liquid Treasure Trunk is fodder for the imagination." This book offers background information, trunk outlines and options, processes for gathering artifacts, teaching applications, and grant proposal information

Map of Selected Rivers and Watersheds of North America
Understanding watersheds can be difficult without seeing the whole picture. This full-colour 65 cm X 95 cm (26”x38”) wall map is the first to use data provided by Canada, the U.S., and Mexico to create an unbroken image of the continent’s watersheds and illustrate the interdependence of all water users. It is a handsome addition to any classroom.
