Color the small pouch around her waist and her two swinging arms in clearly different colors.

Questions to talk about

Is Nari in the middle of a very long run, or almost at the end?
What views and sounds might you meet running on an early morning road in Kenya?
Have you ever walked or run for a long time? What did you do when it got hard?

Take it further

Pick a short course on the playground or near home and walk it slowly. Afterward, draw a map from memory of the places you passed.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

The black-and-white line art you print and color, with clear outlines and wide areas that suit younger children.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
