The Water Tales

Michele Wise Wright, Ph.D.

The Water Tales podcast is based off of the children's picture book, "The Water Tales: Ten Life Lessons from My Water Buddy and Family." This series of 10-15 minute short stories feature anthropomorphic body and organ characters to tell 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 for our bodies, the earth, the environment, and the extended family of all living species. In addition to motivating young listeners and their parents to drink water, the stories tap into life topics important to children: autism, bullying, fears, self-esteem, peer pressure, and more. read less
