Desert Girl, Monsoon Boy by Tara Dairman
3.0
This book, while simple in text, is more about the illustrations and the story. The desert girl and her family are longing for water. The monsoon boy and his family are seeking to flee from the overabundance of it! Of course, the paths intersect.
But I appreciate this book for its multicuturalism. The representation that people can live in different regions and yet, life is so much the same. We tend to think only us have a routine or chores or the like. Yet that isn't true. At all. Families are more alike than we are different. I would love to highlight that in a storytime!
