Review Quotes: Praise for The Water Princess Builds a Well

"Striking and cinematic. A vibrantly illustrated story of determination and grit." --Kirkus Reviews

"Determined to free the girls and women of her African community from their daily trek to fetch the precious liquid, Princess Gie Gie, now a successful fashion model living in Paris, returns home to Burkina Faso with workers and the equipment to drill deep into the earth. . . [an] eloquent appeal for action." --School Library Journal
