The Water Princess

A must buy book for grade 1 and below kids.

I like how the illustrator creates the pictures and how they deliver the main message of the story. I like how the author made the words large for the the reader to read the words clearly. Intended audience is for kindergarten. Will support teaching diversity to young children. This book explains how we should not take water for granted and take an appreciation for how others lived before us.

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.

This is a wonderfully written book that really touched the hearts and imagination of my Year 3 pupils. It led to a deeper understanding of the value of clean water and of how different the lives of children in other countries can be to theirs. The beautiful illustrations add depth to a lovely story that is positive despite the hardships that it depicts. As a class book it offered a huge range of activities but the children loved to read it as a story to simply be enjoyed too. A really lovely book and a much read addition to our class library.

Super schönes Buch mit tollen Illustrationen ♥️
