The story. For the child who feels deeply and wants to understand the world. This book starts with a powerful question: what would you do if you woke up and there was no water? It takes them from their own kitchen to the dry lakebeds of Africa, teaches them about aquifers and droughts, and introduces them to Georgie Badiel, the Water Princess, whose foundation has brought clean water to over 360,000 people in Burkina Faso.
The first discovery happens before the book is even opened: a small bag that dissolves completely in water, revealing a collectible hangtag for their backpack. Yes, that is real science too. The book explains how it works.
Ages 4 to 10. Sizes 3-4Y to 9-10Y. Free shipping on all orders. 5% of your order supports the Georgie Badiel Foundation.

About The Book
An interactive children's book, written by New York Times best-selling author Susan Verde
Billions of people around the world lack access to clean water—and some have no access to water at all. Many walk hours each day to collect contaminated water from rivers and streams, just to meet their basic needs. What if the next generation truly understood this? What if those with easy access to water saw each glass as gift, not a given? And who are the changemakers working to bring clean water to those who need it most?
This hardcover book explores why clean water is one of the most important human rights and how millions still live without it. Through vivid photographs and stories, children learn about Georgie Badiel’s childhood in Burkina Faso, where she walked miles every day to collect water, and how that challenge inspired her to create the Georgie Badiel Foundation. The book shows how the foundation builds wells, restores clean water access, and empowers women to lead healthier, safer lives, while also raising awareness of how much work remains to be done.
The book encourages children to ask meaningful questions about water: Why isn’t there enough safe water for everyone? How can I conserve water in my daily life? What can I do to help others gain access to clean water? A world map helps readers locate Burkina Faso in relation to their own home, sparking curiosity about distance, climate, and culture. Activities, word games, and creative prompts provide interactive learning, while a water challenge helps readers understand just how much water we use each day.
This engaging hardcover connects directly to the Clean Water Collection and provides families with a way to step away from screens, sit together, and celebrate the power of kindness and action in making the world a better place.
Designed for Conversation
Each order includes a beautifully designed box, a themed book, and your selected clothing. All three elements are intentionally connected to create an immersive, hands-on learning experience.
