Description: In a beautiful remote countryside of China, they practice an unique custom to pray for rain, where all the partcipants are young children. It is believed that the heavens have a soft spot for the children, so if the little ones pray for rain, their prayers will be answered. This book tells how this custom came about: A severe drought was endangering the growing season. The children understood the grownups' despair and worry, and organzied themselves to pray and chant for the rain. Readers are treated to beautifully illustrated scenes as the children paraded throughout the farmland, the town center, the market place etc. Then that night, thunder and lightening brought them the much needed rain, and a new custom was born.
