Illustrated by
Michael Lacapa.
In a time of prolonged drought, two brothers are dispatched across perilous terrain to seek help from the spirits of rain and snow. While not folkloric in origin, the story and pictures are suggestive of the Native American Southwest. The story is presented in both English and Keres, the language of the Acoma people; a Spanish version is appended.
