About

A young boy finds a way to help his sister go to school.

Victor and his twin sister, Linesi, are close. Only, now that they are eight years old, she is no longer able to go to school with him. Linesi, like the other older girls in their community, must walk to the river to get water five times a day to help their mother farm. But, Victor is learning about equality in school. He's beginning to realize how boys and girls are not treated equally. And, that's not fair to his sister. So, Victor comes up with a plan to help.

Can one boy make a difference in an unequal world? It turns out, he can!
