D'après les souvenirs d'enfance de Georgie Badiel

"Imagine ta vie sans eau. Pas de robinet dans la cuisine pour remplir ton verre quand tu as soif. Pas de douche ni de baignoire pour te laver. Imagine que tu ne puisses pas aller à l'école parce que tu dois marcher pendant des kilomètres chaque jour rien que pour aller chercher de l'eau, sans même savoir si elle sera bonne. C'est le quotidien d'environ un milliard de personnes dans le monde. Une personne sur six n'a pas accès à de l'eau potable." --, goodreads.com"Imagine your life without indoor plumbing: no faucet in the kitchen to fill your glass when you're thirsty, no shower or bath to wash in. Imagine you cannot go to school because you have to walk miles every day just to get water, without even knowing if it will be drinkable. This is the daily life of about one billion people in the world. One in six does not have easy access to clean water." --, Cataloger's interpretation and translation of the cover"Georgie Badiel Liberty, born February 7, 1985, is a Burkinabé model and activist living and working in New York City. Badiel was Miss Burkina Faso in 2003 and Miss Africa 2004. She is also an author and activist who has taken on the issue of the lack of potable drinking water in her West African homeland. She has co-created the book "The Water Princess", a picture book which tells the story of her West African nation's desperate need for water wells, through her life as a young girl who dreams of bringing clean water to her people. The book was published by Penguin Random House in 2016." --, Cataloger's alternative summary, based on various websites
