In this retelling of an Indian myth, a village is desperate for rain. Monkey must bring a bucket of water up a mountain so that Peacock can perform a rain dance.

The lush, rainbow-hued block-print and digitally rendered illustrations--with several especially striking full-spread scenes--are the real draw here.
