When the Rain Comes

It is time to plant the rice crop in Maliniâ€™s Sri Lankan community, and the little girl is both excited and nervous to help for the first time. What if she does it wrong? Will she be responsible if the crop fails? When the oxcart rumbles in loaded with seedlings, she reluctantly agrees to watch the big, imposing animal while the driver takes a break. Suddenly, the skies go dark with monsoon rain. A
flash flood pours down the road, separating Malini from the driver and her family. They are shouting for her to run for higher ground, but what about the rice? Summoning up courage she never dreamed she possessed, Malini resolves to save ox, cart, and seedlings, no matter what it takes.
Award-winning author Alma Fullerton tells Maliniâ€™s story in expressive free verse that vibrates with emotion and energy. The moods of Sri Lankaâ€™s rainy season come alive as Kim La Fave, illustrator of the award-winning Shin Chiâ€™s Canoe, uses a fresh style that is both contemporary and impressionistic to depict the courage of one little girl facing the power of a flash flood.
