Lila and the Secret of Rain

Our beautiful little Niece is Called Lila and this was the perfect gift for her! I thought it may have been a little sad for a 1 year old BUT It is a beautiful story and has lovely ‘mummy/Lila moments’! Thank you for the perfect gift!

This book combines all the elements needed in a great story book: beautiful illustrations and a captivating story. The plot centers on a young girl who any small child could identify with. This moving story combines a wonderful and touching fable with poetic prose not often found in children's books. Both the illustrations and text offer the kind of warmth and wonder that will surely remain with my daughter long after she's grown. The only fault I could find is that the font used for the text is a bit small & much too formal for this endearing story. "Lila and the Secret of Rain" is sure to become one of this generations' classic stories and should be a part of any little girl's home library.

Lovely story about a Kenyan girl’s journey to save a village from a drought!

The layout and illustrations in this book are very thoughtful. The tone of the story is beautifully conveyed through the use of color and lack of color.Drought and the very real idea of people facing the hardship of a drought are dealt with itender way.

Lovely story easy to read bright colourful pictures
