The spirit of water
by Rafael Rubio
Description
The river that watered the vegetable fields has dried up, only stones are left. But the committed vegetables do not let themselves be beaten: they pull up their roots and leave in a procession in search of water. They climb hills, cross stony fields, avoid a hungry rabbit; finally they hear the voice of water and run happily to meet it... But it was not the water that spoke, but its spirit, which shows them the way to reach it. We are facing a global water crisis, which affects both wildlife and humans, including the very basis of our livelihood: everything we eat requires water. This book can help raise awareness of these issues among children, which is essential if we as, humanity, are to make the changes necessary to address this crisis. The path marked out by the spirit of water is ultimately the one that each of us must seek in our own hearts.
