Drylongso is a 1992 children's book by Virginia Hamilton and illustrator Jerry Pinkney.

School Library Journal, in a review of Drylongso, noted: "As in many of her other works of fiction, Hamilton combines myth and realism to create a poignant, powerful tale.

.. Pinkney's illustrations are exquisite, expressive, and perfectly in tune with the tone and spirit of the text."

"[1] Booklist wrote: "In an understated story of drought and hard times and longing for rain, a great writer and a great artist have pared down their rich, exuberant styles to something quieter but no less intense.

"[1] and Publishers Weekly called it a "thoroughly captivating story firmly rooted in the folktale tradition.
