It's hot. Blazing orange and yellow backgrounds show weary Water Buffalo and dropping Crane on a small, orange globe. The trees are dead, the flowers droop, everything is hot. Nothing changes, there is only the endless heat.
Then someone new appears. Goat. Goat says only, "How do you do?" and begins dancing, but it changes everything. The others join in and they dance around their tiny globe, kicking up their heels and watching the earth turn green and beautiful again. Is the rain real or only metaphorical? Either way, Water Buffalo and Crane have experienced a change of heart and they see new beauty in their world.
Verdict: The beautiful language and glowing colors make this a thoughtful and unique story to read aloud or pore over with a special child.
