Description
A wonderful, evocative tale about how waterholes came to exist on the African savannah
At the beginning of time a goddess descends to Earth and finds that parts of the land are dry, the plants are wilting, and theanimals are thirsty, for even when it rains on the parched surface, the water just runs off. The goddess is inspired to make enormous pots of clay which she pushes into the earth to collect the rainwater so the animals can drink. While she works, her daughter collects bits of leftover clay and makes a necklace. Once the pots are in place, the animals show their gratitude by adding colors to the dull beads of the necklacethe flamingo gives its bright pink, the zebra its stripes, and the ant the deep red of the earth inside its anthill.Featuring beautiful watercolor illustrations and a page of information about traditional African pots and beads, this book also includes activities for children to do on their own.
