Environmental crusader Luz is back again! This time she is teaching children about water conservation and xeriscaping.

In an approachable and fun graphic novel format, children learn about how to recycle water, how plants get water from underground, what effects big business plays in water consumption and how to advocate for change.

This story picks up after Luz has successfully managed to get an old, garbage strewn, vacant lot turned into a community garden. It has brought the local community together in a shared effort. But now there is a drought and the community garden is threatened. To make matters worse, the local soft drink producer has bought the rights to the community spring-fed pond and is sucking it dry! Luz rally’s everyone to help make things right.
