Book 2: Boy Does Water Run!

Kids don't always think about what happens when water is wasted. But sometimes, water doesn't just flow... it runs.

In Boy Does Water Run!, brothers Jeff and Tom discover how much water can be wasted during simple daily activities. From long showers to running sinks to sprinklers left on too long, the boys learn that every drop matters. With each moment, Jeff begins to understand that small habits at home can make a big difference around the world.

Filled with bright illustrations, gentle humor, and real-life lessons, this story introduces early conservation concepts in a simple, kid-friendly way. Children learn about clean water, responsible habits, and how their everyday choices help protect the planet.

This Conservation Series book helps young readers understand that caring for the Earth begins with simple actions-like turning off the faucet, taking shorter showers, and paying attention to how much water they use.

Perfect for ages 3-7, classrooms, Earth Day, and families wanting to teach kids easy ways to help the environment.

Author Biography

James R. Thomas takes young readers into the world of space travel, teaches them the importance of conservation, and also tackles the topic of helping children cope when a parent is deployed in the military. His writing style has been inspired by his military service and the challenges his own family faced with his deployment. He also wanted to bring his love of science fiction to life for children and teach them to be socially conscious of our planet. In his books, he addresses a variety of life issues for young readers with his goal being to help children build an awareness of the world around them and to empower them to reach for the stars. Through his character, Joe Devlin, children can explore space travel of the future in the Intergalactic world of the Space Academy series. The series was inspired when James was being deployed to Afghanistan and promised to write a story for his son, which Joe Devlin was based upon. His conservation series teaches children the importance of keeping our planet healthy and safe while showing them that every single person, including the reader, can make an impact good or bad on the planet. Included in the 18 books that James has published thus far are two stand-alones. One covers the importance of telling the truth and the other teaches children about allergies. James also has expanded internationally with a children's book published in the French language. To round out his versatility as an author, James tapped into his own life experiences and crafted a series to help children cope with the deployment of a loved one. James is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering and he holds an advanced degree in Business Administration. His love of space was a driving factor in Joe Devlin's background. He is married with a son and a daughter and resides in Chesapeake, Virginia. When he is not writing, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing guitar and flying. James is currently working on a new Joe Devlin book to be released in 2016.
