In this episode, host Bonnie Wright dives into the magical world of water, from oceans that roar to creeks that rush and lakes that shimmer. Through the voices of young Earthlings, we explore how water feels, why it matters, and all the joyful ways children connect with it.
Kids share stories of floating, splashing, potion-making, surfing, and imagining entire worlds beneath the waves. Their reflections remind us that water is essential, playful, mysterious, and full of life and that caring for it helps every Earthling thrive.
