Awash in oranges and yellows, Princess Gie Gie is master of many things but cannot control the length which her mother and her must travel to fetch water. Someday, someday she will find a way... Verde presents a story based on the childhood experience of Georgie Badiel, an advocate and philanthropist to build wells and provide access to clean drinking water in several African countries. This may be Reynolds' best illustrations yet, full of movement, emotion, and a beautiful blend of watercolors.
