A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about a girl in Sudan in 2008 and a boy in Sudan in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours’ walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya’s in an astonishing and moving way.
Take your child and join a little boy and his mom on a journey to his grandma's house. During the walk, there are a lot of things he depends on his mom to make him feel more secure and safe. With his mom by his side, all insecurities and dangers fall away. He feels safe with her. He then realizes one day he will leave his parents just as her mom left hers. He avoids that thought and enjoys the moment of being a kid with the precious family he has by his side.

*도파민네이션(dopamine nation)이란?
과학자들은 중독 가능성을 측정하는 보편적인 척도로서 도파민을 사용한다. 뇌의 보상 경로에 도파민이 많을수록 중독성은 더 커진다. 과거에는 도파민을 자극하는 대상을 구하기 힘들었다. 그러나 인간이 세상을 결핍의 공간에서 풍요가 넘치는 공간으로 바꾸면서 중독의 법칙이 바뀌었다.
중독성 물질, 음식, 뉴스, 도박, 쇼핑, 게임, 채팅, 음란 문자, 페이스북, 인스타그램, 유튜브, 트위터… 오늘날 큰 보상을 약속하는 자극들은 양, 종류, 효능 등 모든 측면에서 과거와 비교할 수 없을 만큼 증가했다. 디지털 세상의 등장은 이런 자극들에 날개를 달아주었다.
