An intergenerational story about a nonbinary child who learns the
tradition of well digging in this picture book about community, hope,
and protecting the Earth’s water. As soon as Kit’s old enough to
ride in Grandpa's truck, they begin joining him to dig wells for their
community. Grandpa is magic. He can feel the weather in his bones, and
he’s able to dance with water. With just a tree branch in his hand,
Grandpa sways and spins over the land until he finds a spot to dig a
hole into the waiting earth. When the water springs up, Grandpa and
Kit jump for joy. As new hotels and factories pop up across town,
clean water becomes harder to find. Sometimes, no water flows at all.
Kit is sad for Grandpa—and for Earth. But one day, Grandpa senses
that Kit is ready to dance with water too. Grandpa reminds Kit that
the energy and strength of their people flows through the water. As
they wait and watch for fresh, clear water to flow up from the ground
again, Kit recognizes the power shared between themself and Earth.
