One Well : The Story of Water on Earth
By Rochelle Strauss
Illustrator: Rosemary Woods


Imagine for a moment that all the water on Earth came from just one well. This isn′t as strange as it sounds. All water on Earth is connected, so there really is just one source--one global well--from which we all draw our water.
Water has the power to change everything--a single splash can sprout a seed, quench a thirst, provide a habitat, generate energy and sustain life. How we treat water in the well will affect every species on the planet, now and for years to come.
One Well is a richly illustrated and timely book. Its call to action shows how every one of us has the power to conserve and protect our global well.
