DESCRIPTION:
Amazon Customer said beautifully written from the African perspective and captures the senses. It's plan , simple , beautifully written from the African perspective and captures the senseskinda reminds of a Chinua Achebe writingGreat read, and should be a book for the classes.. Amazon Customer said Five Stars. This is an awesome book!!!!! Congrats Chantal.. Great children's read This book is very powerful because of its ability to introduce a complex issue such as clean water to a young audience with such a playful candor. I don't have any kids but I did buy one for my little cousin as she can identify with the main character, which is hard to come by in children's books. I would recommend this book for children of all ethnicities
