(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jamel Akib & Jamel Akib. An Indian family living in a large city waits for the monsoon rains that will cool off the people and bring rain for the crops. Although the author explains in a note how dangerous monsoons can be, she also talks about the inspiration that the rain brings to musicians and artists. Akib creates lively urban scenes, filled with people that herald the diversity of the city.
