Water water everywhere. Great children's book image on the subject of water.

This is great.

And this is also an image that seems appropriate when choosing to speak about water as a resource generally - it might, for instance, be a good prelude to discussions like this.



Anyway, I'm generally pretty enamored with Satoshi Kitamura's work and I've spoken about him before.

This particular image comes from a great little book called Captain Toby, where a little boy in his house gets caught in a wind storm and then with the house swaying, starts to dream about his house being a boat, being caught in the ocean, and even at one point, duking it out with a giant squid. Anyway, lovely stuff.
