But clean drinking water is scarce in her small African village. And try as she might, Gie Gie cannot bring the water closer; she cannot make it run clearer. Every morning, she rises before the sun to make the long journey to the well. Instead of a crown, she wears a heavy pot on her head to collect the water. After the voyage home, after boiling the water to drink and clean with, Gie Gie thinks of the trip that tomorrow will bring. And she dreams. She dreams of a day when her village will have cool, crystal-clear water of its own. Inspired by the childhood of African–born model Georgie Badiel, acclaimed author Susan Verde and award-winning author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds have come together to tell this moving story. As a child in Burkina Faso, Georgie and the other girls in her village had to walk for miles each day to collect water. This vibrant, engaging picture book sheds light on this struggle that continues all over the world today, instilling hope for a future when all children will have access to clean drinking water. Review: Outstanding in Every Way. - This books was outstanding in every way. The images, words, typography, etc. were all just delightful. My five year-old made the connection to the Water Princess. In the U.S. and other western countries, we have so much abundance and it is too easy to take everything we have for granted -- even simple, but important things like drinking water. My daughter got the point from this book in a way that was easy-to-understand without being overly dramatic or sad. In fact, in these very simple pages, the Water Princess remained an optimist and maintained her dignity. This is NOT a sad or depressing book, despite the central theme. It is very age appropriate and an important story for young children who have so much and maybe do not yet realize how different things are for those who live on the other side of the planet. This book opened up many conversations with my daughter to help her better understand these complex issues. Review: a #WorldWaterDay must read! - This book is inspired by the experiences of supermodel/activist Georgie Badiel. It describes the struggles some go through to get water every day! Even when they get the water, it's not clean or clear. This book was a great way to explain to my daughter how lucky we are to have fresh drinking water available to us at all times. Not just for drinking, but for cooking, bathing and washing our clothes. As a parent, I loved having this book as a teaching tool to explain why it's important to conserve water. The illustrations were beautiful and cartoony enough to keep my daughter engaged. The book doesn't go into vast details about the water crisis which makes it great for a young reader. It also is a gentle reminder to adults to change our water habits ASAP. Can't wait to read this book again! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #38,494 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Children's Africa Books #102 in Children's Environment Books (Books) #292 in Children's Books on Girls' & Women's Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 704 Reviews | ## Images ![The Water Princess - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91EdDHuHi0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding in Every Way. *by G***K on February 24, 2017* This books was outstanding in every way.
