Description:

Once upon a time, deep in the heart of the forest, there was a village where life flowed in perfect harmony — tall trees swayed in the breeze, birds sang in every branch, animals roamed the woods, and rain clouds visited faithfully each season, soaking the earth with sweet, cool showers. But one day, slowly, slowly, things began to change. The animals disappeared. The birds fell silent. And worst of all — the clouds stopped coming home. Will the village ever bring its precious rain back? Beautifully written and illustrated by acclaimed Warli artist Ramesh Laxman Hengadi in the timeless white-on-earth style of his tribal tradition, this gentle, gorgeously rendered story by Pratham Books speaks to children about deforestation, climate, ecological balance and the deep, ancient bond between people, forests and rain. Quietly powerful — and unforgettable.
