Monsoon

Richly colored illustrations and lyrical text...An expressive story about seasons, extremes, and waiting. -Kirkus Reviews A welcome glimpse into another culture and climate, this is the latest of Krishnaswami's children's books about India...Akib's sun-baked art, hazy like a hot summer day, conveys the richness of a dry, dusty setting as well as the pleasant, active household; the busy streets featuring cattle-and-car traffic; the tea stalls; the Bollywood posters; and Hindi sculptures...An afterword provides details about the nature, geography, and dangers of monsoon rains, and a glossary defines the four Hindi words used in the story. -Booklist
