Everybody needs water to live. But for many children and their families, obtaining water is not as simple as turning on a tap. In this book, readers will learn how people around the world find, collect, and use water.
- Meet the San people of the scorching Kalahari Desert who dig up plant roots and crush them to squeeze out a little water.
- Join a Nenet family in Siberia as they melt snow to make water for drinking and cooking.
- And in Guatemala, discover how mountain families capture fog and condense it to make fresh water.
- Readers will also learn how some children must drink water that is dirty and dangerous. And they will join girls in Africa who spend up to six hours each day walking to and from waterholes to collect water for their families.
- The book includes a world map that pinpoints where every story comes from.
Filled with beautiful, detailed photos, this book is a fascinating and eye-opening exploration of how we use water.
