The Water Book/Vattenboken

Just like tomato plants, humans need water to live. The water that exists on the globe now is the same water that has always existed. For 4 billion years, as long as the earth has been around. The water that the Vikings drank 1000 years ago is the water you drink today. Slurp!

With humor in both text and pictures, Pernilla Stalfelt brilliantly teaches us about water in all its forms. Water can be raindrops on an umbrella, mist on a glass, steam over a cup, ice in a glass, or dew on the grass.

Since her debut in 1996 with The Hair Book, Stalfelt’s books have attracted great attention and admiration, both among the public and the press. She is one of few who can deal with difficult subjects in a comprehensible and joyful way, all the while keeping the reader interested, amused and affected.
