Yassama leads a happy life with her family until the day the rain stops falling. The village well runs dry, the harvests dwindle, and hunger looms.
To help her family, Yassama walks farther and farther in search of water. Along the way, she encounters an old baobab tree that teaches her the importance of respecting Mother Earth and taking care of what she provides.
Inspired by African oral tradition, theater, and dance, this picture book offers young readers a celebration of perseverance and humility in the form of a contemporary ecological tale.
