Lila and the Secret of Rain

For months the sun has burned down on Lila’s Kenyan village. Without rain the
well will run dry and the crops will fail. Lila is so worried that when her grandfather
whispers to her the secret of rain, she decides to go and talk to the sky herself.
Lila saves the village by telling the sky the saddest thing she knows. Told in David
Conway’s elegant and spare prose style and complemented perfectly by Jude Daly’s
beautiful and poignant illustrations.
