Illustrated by
Cristina Acosta.
Woman disobeys her husband Thunder and her creator Sibu and brings about her transformation into the life-giving Sea, completing the creation of the world. Acosta's illustrations with their thick swirls of paint in a rainbow palette add joyful vitality to the tale. Lots of repetition and exuberant sound effects make this a great storytelling choice.
