Avis sur le produitA Long Walk to Water : Based on a True Story by Linda Sue Park (2011, Trade Paperback)

A wonderful book for all ages and readers

A wonderful book for all ages and readers A long walk to water tells the story of Salva and Nya, two children with separate but very unique stories. Nya’s walk to water is a captivating true story that girls to this day in Africa must endure on a daily basis. Salva’s story, I believe, is movie worthy. The author tells his story of a war torn village in South Sudan and Salva’s long journey after having to leave his school during a shootout between tribes in the area. Salva must keep himself alive after fleeing with the other children to a refugee camps in Libya, then to three other camps after without any of his family. After around eight years in the camps Salva gets his chance at a new life with him and a few kids being able to go to America to live there new free lives with his foster family.

Open the world to young readers

Very engaging reading for my grade-6 grandson who lives in an upscale suburban community. We followed up with a productive talk about the elements of the USA economy vs. the 3rd world development. The book helped put a face on abstract concepts.Lire l'avis complet...

Basic needs of drinking water. A world view.

Both my young granddaughters read this while schooling from home during the pandemic.

We bought an extra one for the school library too!

Excellent read

I love this book. It was compelling right from the beginning and through to the very last sentence (don't be tempted to read ahead to the fabulous conclusion). I bought a copy for each of my grandchildren to read to increase their understanding of another culture that does not enjoy the freedoms, protections, and abundance of ours.Lire l'avis complet...
