Monkey and the other jungle animals are worried, because they
can’t find water anywhere. Monkey consults with Peacock, who lives at
long way away at the top of a very high mountain. Peacock asks Monkey to
find even a little bit of water. Through Monkey’s perseverance and
kindness, water is returned to the animals.
FYI - while this is not an
authentic traditional tale, it is based on the Indian tradition that peacocks
dance just before a rain. The illustrations feel like their are
cut-paper, but they are actually a combination of block prints and digital
rendering. Fun, bright and just right for the text.
