We’re making the urgency of the water crisis a tangible experience by launching The Dehydrating Book: a first-of-its-kind story that can only be read when hydrated.
Just like children, The Dehydrating Book needs water. Created using special hydrochromic ink, the book’s pages come alive only when water is present. As the pages dehydrate, the story completely disappears until water is added again.
It serves as a powerful reminder that access to water means access to education, opportunity, and a brighter future. Water For People worked directly with students from Palmira, a village in Peru’s Cascas Valley, to develop “The Thirsty Hummingbird,” a story that seamlessly weaves their firsthand experiences into a compelling narrative.
