Description:

The first fat raindrops have just begun to fall — and that means one thing in Ira's home: monsoon feast time! As the skies open up and rivulets gush through the village, Ira watches with sparkling eyes while her family gets to work. Earthy mushrooms popping up after the showers, tender wild greens shooting up at the edge of the fields, river fish leaping in the swollen streams, fresh corn roasted on the chulha, and crisp, golden pakodas sizzling in the kitchen — every plate on the table tells a story of the land, the rain and the people who care for both. Beautifully written by environmental writer Mukta Patil and brought to life through Kavita Singh Kale's evocative illustrations, this Pratham Books climate-themed picture book is a warm celebration of seasonal eating, indigenous food wisdom, and the deep, delicious bond between weather and what we cook.
