Cuban-American author Margarita Engle has written a story to explain what water delivery days are like. This story follows a young girl as her family prepares to receive water from the delivery man. The man delivers water about every 5 days. The family fills their blue tank each time to prepare for their water needs such as bathing, cooking, and having enough to drink. It is such a simple story yet so simply teaches that water conservation is of utmost importance. It also points to the fact that many places in this world do not have access to clean running water. In this story, you will find beautiful illustrations that show a joyful family that works together to fulfill the basic human need for water.
Water Day is written in English.  The Spanish version of the same story is El Dia del Agua
