Come greet Little Amal at her first stop in DC!

Little Amal is searching for something yummy to eat when she comes across a gigantic red chair and a crowd of kids all carrying their own chairs. They help her find her way to the Hillsdale Farmers Market, where Amal receives care packages of beautiful harvest food for her onward journey.

Little Amal is the 12-foot puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee child at the heart of The Walk. She has become a global symbol of human rights, especially those of refugees.
