Product Description
An Italian boy sips from a fountain in the town square. A hiker takes a refreshing drink from a mountain stream. Black-robed women in India stride gracefully through a field with brass water jugs balanced on their heads. Whether they squeeze it out of a burlap bag, haul it home from a communal tap, or get it out of their kitchen faucet, people all around the world are unified by their common need for water. Barbara Kerley brings home this point simply and eloquently in this beautiful picture book that combines striking National Geographic photographs with a poetic text to show how people in various cultures use and conserve this vital resource.

The best book for beginner ELLs
Rating  (5)

1 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful
A rare find! A book that is interesting and useful for teaching beginner ELLs who are older. This book is ideal for grades 5 and up who are beginners in English. They can learn the verbs with TPR, the nouns with Realia, and can learn to recite its short prepositional phrases in one sitting. Teachers can link social studies concepts by working with the index of photographs and map. Students can study the difference between poetic style and expository narrative in the index of photographs.
