Nya's Long Walk: A Step at a Time

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Brian Pinkney. In this picture-book companion to Park's novel A Long Walk to Water, Nya's little sister Akeer becomes feverish while they're fetching water far from their South Sudan village, and Nya must carry her and the water. Then with her mother, Nya must walk several days to get Akeer medical treatment. A nonfictional ending reinforces the importance of clean water access worldwide. Swirling watercolors aptly portray the topography and the hardship.
