Clean Water is Awesome. No, Really!
Water Isn’t Boring. It’s the Beginning of Everything. Most kids grow up thinking water is just… water. It’s invisible, tasteless, and honestly? A little boring. But I want to change that.
There are shelves full of amazing children’s books about dinosaurs, astronauts, and superheroes—adventures that spark imagination and wonder. But clean drinking water? Why it matters, where it comes from, what’s in it, and how it connects to our health and our planet? There’s almost nothing.
And yet, water is everything. It’s essential to life, to learning, to energy, to the future of our planet. If we want the next generation to care about clean water, sustainability, and health—we can’t wait until they’re adults. We have to start earlier. And we have to make it fun.
That’s why I wrote this book. To help kids see water not as boring, but as brilliant. If you’re a parent, educator, or just someone who believes in a cleaner, healthier future, I hope this book will inspire the young people in your life to see water in a whole new way.
