Isabel Thomas

A unique and beautiful approach to understanding one of the most important environmental issues facing humankind--access to clean, fresh water.

Scientists, engineers, academics, and environmentalists warn that unless water use is drastically reduced, severe water shortage will affect the entire planet by 2040. But what does that mean? Why? What should we do?

Are We Running Out of Water? unravels the issues and the answers using a visual thinking technique called mind mapping, which makes complicated subjects easy to understand. Beautiful illustrations bring the many issues, concepts, and solutions to life. This engaging, fascinating, and important read will inspire and empower young readers to do their part to protect the planet's most vital resource.

BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS: Combines the beauty of a picture book with science-based facts and information.

TIMELY TOPIC: Inspired by activists like Greta Thunberg, kids are concerned about the environment and are taking active roles at home, school, and in the community to protect the planet.

UNIQUE APPROACH: Are We Running Out of Water? is structured using a visual thinking technique called "mind mapping," where complex ideas are broken down into a clear flow of visual information. The 'mind map' connects the information, making it easy to grasp.

ACCESSIBLE TO EVERY READER: The text is carefully layered and leveled for emerging to proficient readers.

COMPLETE THE COLLECTION: How Do We Stop Climate Change?: Mind Mappers also available.
