bookishmillennial 's review for:

Desert Girl, Monsoon Boy by Tara Dairman
fast-paced

Absolutely gorgeously illustrated picture book about folks who live and care for their animals in places with extreme dry and wet weather. The author’s note touches more on this, noting that this book followed two families: a nomadic family in search of water and a village-dwelling family seeking to escape it. They are Rabari people, from Gujarat and Rajasthan.
