Description: One morning, Jin Jin the dragon discovers that he has lost his ability to breath out water (The Chinese dragon is water-breathing, not fire-breathing!) How could this terrible thing have happened? As it turns out, Jin Jin threw some rice away at the rice festival. And rice is as precious as gold! Old Turtle and Crane lead Jin Jin to a mysterious ancient archway through which he must travel back in time to learn about the value of rice. There he will meet Rain Wizard, who will give him his water-breathing power back, while making sure that he returns home quickly, safely, and all the wiser. Beautifully illustrated in Chinese watercolor, these pages present a world that is lush and exotic, yet welcoming and familiar. Following the story, there are two additional pages about the history of rice and the legend of Rain Wizard.
