A Long Walk to Water
by Linda Sue Park
This book is an example of a book that is beautiful but a hard subject. The author took a very difficult topic and made it not only easy to read (children's book) but also made it inspiring. The book switches between Salva who starts the book as a child in Sudan during a civil war (1985) and Nya, a young girl who walks 8 hours a day to get water for her family (2008). I hurt for both of them for very different reasons. Salva endured hardships in trying to escape a country at war. He ended up as a refugee for many years and always wondered what happened to his family. Nya doesn't get to have a traditional childhood because she is having to walk so far to get water. While she does have her family there is still a lot of worry.
This really is an uplifting and beautiful story. I was touched by what I read and it reminds me of how blessed that I am and the need to help others.
