The Water Princess

By: Susan Verde, Georgie Badiel, Peter H. Reynolds

Narrated by: Yetide Bodaki

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.

great bedtime calming book for mindfulness!

I loved the cultural lesson in the book that warmed my heart! The inspiration from these cultures who are happy with so little and the connection that their friends and family have is a pleasure to seek out in my own life. while listening to the book your body becomes relaxed and it's a great mindfulness practice the way that the book is read.

Great Companion to ALWTW

This would be a great introduction to A Long Walk to Water!! I love it!
