The North Penn Water Authority (NPWA) is excited to announce the release of its first children’s book, “The Source to Tap Mystery,” which will be available free to children in the community beginning May 15.
The interactive coloring book is a fun and educational way to teach early elementary-aged children about the journey water takes from the water source to their homes. Children can take an adventure with the book’s main character, a water drop named “H2Ollie,” and his friends, and complete some fun activities along the way while they solve the mystery of where their water comes from.
The book also features some familiar NPWA water tanks and other local landmarks which children may be familiar with, as well as a pop-out matching game and doorknob hangers.
“We are happy to release this new educational resource for children in our community,” said Anthony Bellitto Jr., Executive Director of NPWA. “Water education is an important priority for us and we hope, through this interactive mystery book, children learn where their drinking water comes from.”
The book will be available at the following events and locations:
