A Long Walk to Water

A Long Walk to Water (sometimes shortened to ALWTW) is a short novel written by Linda Sue Park and published in 2010.

Park used this book as a platform to support Dut's organization, Water for South Sudan.

Salva also struggles to find food and water to survive along with avoiding rebels, lions, and other threats.

Her family home is far from the nearest pond, where she walks twice a day to support her parents and younger sister, Akeer.

[3] Reviewing the book for The Newcastle Herald, Stacey Dombkins praised Park's execution of the dual narrative, stating that the book's "unsurprising but very satisfying ending" successfully shows how Salva's hope and determination brought positive changes to those residing in Sudan.
