Bau knows as many dances as there are seeds in a calabash rattle. But she does not know the magic dance of the rainbull, which brings the rains -- only the rainmaiden knows that. One day a terrible drought seizes the land, and Bau sets off in search of the rainmaiden to save her people.This South African author weaves the age-old customs of the bushmen into an evocative rite of passage story. Hauntingly illustrated in the style of ancient Kalahari wall paintings by this versatile international illustrator, the book includes a glossary of Kalahari terms and customs.
