Nibi a soif, très soif

Tenasco, Sunshine,


Nibi accourt chez elle en compagnie de son chien pour se désaltérer puisque ses lèvres sont toutes sèches. Or, il n'y a toujours pas d'eau qui coule de son robinet et chez son voisin, le liquide dans son verre est brunâtre. Comme elle a très soif, la jeune fille se rend à la rivière, mais le poisson Kigonz lui fait également savoir que les flots dans lesquels il nage sont très sales. Nibi refuse de se décourager et gambade jusqu'à la ville voisine, où les maisons étincellent et où une gentille dame lui donne une toute petite bouteille d'eau. Lorsqu'elle en désire une deuxième, voilà que toutes les portes se ferment devant la petite Amérindienne et qu'elle doit chanter et danser dans les rues pour exiger un droit fondamental: l'accès à l'eau potable. [SDM]. Un texte complémentaire explique que, même au Canada, nombreux sont ceux qui n'ont pas accès à l'eau potable et que les communautés autochtones sont particulièrement touchées par cette situation inacceptable. Si l'autrice et l'illustratrice amérindiennes mettent de la lumière sur cette importante problématique, le texte répétitif et peu soigné rend le tout un peu cryptique pour les jeunes lecteurs. On y sent par contre l'état d'urgence de l'héroïne, qui prend vie au sein de dessins naïfs mariant symbolique autochtone et couleurs de synthèse très vives, tout en rappelant l'art mural. [SDM].
