Fort Lauderdale, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/17/2015 -- Through a collaborative, state-led process managed by Achieve, new K–12 science standards have been developed that are rich in content and practice, and arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally-benchmarked science education. The NGSS are based on the Framework for K–12 Science Education developed by the National Research Council.

Eleven year old Lexi Schwartzberg, author and creator of a new book, Lily Droplet's Amazing Adventure: The Water Cycle (ISBN: 978-0-99629-331-0), is a perfect way to integrate the new Science Standards with the enjoyment of literature.

After receiving an assignment in school to write about the water cycle from the point of view of a water droplet, Lily's Adventure began. The talented young author quickly turned the one paragraph assignment into a full-length story, incorporating the science and lessons through dynamic and charming characters. The illustrations are equally delightful. Lexi worked with her Aunt Danielle, an amazing and talented artist to illustrate the book. The two worked together to capture the fun and interesting path of Lily Droplet's Amazing Adventure.
