How are mountains formed? Why do rivers change the landscape? Where does the sand on beaches come from? What is an oasis? In short, what is geomorphology?

Scientist Xaviera Torres invites us to follow the journey of a drop of water as they travel across the entire Earth and, through their adventures, discover how water transforms, unites, and shapes our planet.

Poetic stories full of curiosities that, between fiction and science, explain the water cycle and how it changes landscapes—mountains, rivers, beaches, deserts…—and life itself.

Each story is accompanied by a brief scientific section that, with clear and accessible language, helps children understand the natural processes around us.

Stories included in this book:
La Montaña más alta del mundo (The Highest Mountain in the World). How mountains are formed and how they age.
Juntas río abajo (Together Downstream). How a river is born, what it carries, and where it ends.
Playa sin arena (A Beach Without Sand). Where beaches get their sand from and can a beach run out of sand.
El coleccionista de dunas (The Dune Collector). How they are formed, what an oasis is, what fog catchers are and what they are used for.
