THE WATER PRINCESS
Georgie Badiel Susan Verde Peter H. Reynolds
THE WATER PRINCESS is a picture book, based on supermodel Georgie Badiel's childhood, a young girl dreams of bringing clean drinking water to her African village.
With its wide sky and warm earth, Princess Gie Gie's kingdom is a beautiful land. 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.
Young readers will be enchanted by Susan Verde's gentle, lilting words, and Peter H. Reynolds brings his signature, fluid illustration style, which joins this moving story in perfect harmony.
THE WATER PRINCESS will teach kids an important lesson about the scarcity of clean drinking water and introduce them to ways they can help make a difference.
Georgie Badiel is a high-fashion model from the landlocked country of Burkina Faso, where the closest source of clean water was many miles from her home. After she won the title of Miss Africa in 2005, Georgie's profile continued to soar as she appeared on the runways of designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Louis Vuitton, and Diane Von Furstenberg and was featured in editorials for magazines including Russian Vogue, Essence, and Elle.
The author Susan Verde writes and teaches kid's yoga in East Hampton, New York, where she lives with her twin boys, Joshua and Gabriel, and her daughter, Sophia. They are the constant inspiration for her writing. They never let her forget how to see things from a child's point of view.
The illustrator Peter H. Reynolds is best known for his children's books about authentic learning, creativity, and self-expression. His picture books include The Dot, which has been published in over twenty languages, and The New York Times bestseller Someday by Alison McGhee. Reynolds lives in Dedham, Massachusetts, and is the co-owner of his family's book store, The Blue Bunny Bookstore.
