Editor’s Insight
While diving deeper into the topic of hydration, I came across this book. As a father of three children who almost always prefer water or fresh coconut milk over sugary drinks, it immediately caught my attention. Who is the author, what drives her - and can a book truly help children develop an consciousness of water from an early age? Yes, it can: in wonderfully simple language for children, with great visual design and immediately actionable ideas for everyday life - such as recipes for infused water. In my view, perfect for all parents and grandparents who want to make water a healthy habit in their family and do something truly good for their children.
