| |  | Book Review: The Water Princess By Laura El Alam The Water Princess by Susan Verde is a picture book that will help us and our children see water from a new perspective and appreciate this incomparable gift from Allah. If we currently take water for granted or have trouble imagining a life without it, this book will be an eye-opener. The book is based on the real-life experience of model and international advocate Georgie Badiel, who grew up in Burkina Faso. As a child, Badiel fetched water with her grandmother, just as the story’s main character Gie Gie does. Reading this book is a wonderful way of seeing the challenges that individuals and nations face from the global water crises. And with that knowledge, inshaAllah, comes an increased attention to taking action. |
