In keeping with the "water" theme this week, I remembered the inspirational Salva Dut, one of the “Lost Boys” of Sudan, whose story was told by Lisa Sue Park in her book, A Long Walk to Water (2010). You can listen to a short interview with the author and Salva Dut, and then pick up the book at your local library or independent bookstore! Better yet, enjoy Salva Dut’s 13-minute TED talk, I Kept Walking .”
