Each tale’s episode is cleverly built around each of the eleven members of My Water Buddy and Family who are all focused on the beneficial impact of water on our bodies, the earth, the environment, and the extended family of all living species. In addition to motivating young listeners and their parents to drink water, the stories tap into life topics important to children: autism, bullying, fears, self-esteem, peer pressure, and more.
