Wesley the Water Droplet

Children will often have many questions about life, the purpose of it and what happens after we die. In her first book for children, Valerie Muruato gently describes the cycle of life and death through the eyes of a little droplet of water named Wesley, with the water cycle as the backdrop. This book is also a reminder to readers that in life it is futile to go against the current and that to have peace and tranquility, it is best to go with the flow of life. When Wesley first emerges out of the ocean's spray, there are no instructions on how to go about life. With the guidance of an older, wiser droplet, Wesley learns that to find his way back home, it is best not to go against the current. The book also demonstrates how fear and doubt can keep us from experiencing life to our fullest potential.
