Grade: Suitable for grades 4 to 7
Every raindrop, lake, underground river and glacier is part of a single global well that makes life on earth possible. Yet every day, the equivalent of more than 15,000 boxcars worth of garbage is dumped into the Earth’s water. With a Master’s degree in Environmental Studies and a passion for writing, Rochelle Strauss ignites in young readers the desire to take action to conserve and protect our global well, and the knowledge that they have the power to make a change for the better.
