She was inspired to use the magic of children's literature to spark her students' curiosity about the wonders of water. She vowed to \"turn a drop of rain into a drop of life, astounding children by its eternity.\" Her sprightly verse elicits a \"water wow!\" in A Drop Around the World, her first book. She is also the author of Pass the Energy Please!, a wonderful exploration of nature's food chain, written in rhyming verse. From Manchester, Connecticut, McKinney draws on her experience as a mother, musician, and curriculum developer to promote quality education through workshops for teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Maydak\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professional artist who is passionate about nature--especially the riparian environments that he loves so much as a fly fisherman.
