Drylongso is a 1992 children's book by Virginia Hamilton and illustrator Jerry Pinkney. It is about a farming family who is experiencing a drought and takes in a stranger.

Reception

School Library Journal, in a review of Drylongso, noted: "As in many of her other works of fiction, Hamilton combines myth and realism to create a poignant, powerful tale. .. Pinkney's illustrations are exquisite, expressive, and perfectly in tune with the tone and spirit of the text." and concluded "Despite the occasional seams, this is a fine book."[1] Booklist wrote: "In an understated story of drought and hard times and longing for rain, a great writer and a great artist have pared down their rich, exuberant styles to something quieter but no less intense."[1] and Publishers Weekly called it a "thoroughly captivating story firmly rooted in the folktale tradition."[2]

Drylongso has also been reviewed by Kirkus Reviews,[3] The Horn Book Magazine,[4] and the Smithsonian.[5]
