In the Indian Night SkyWritten by Reshma Sapre, Illustrated by Jayme Robinson2010 Moonbeam Medal winner for Best Picture Book All Ages
A story about the coming of the monsoon rains, In the Indian Night Sky is set in the black of night, where the celestial beings send the rains off into their downpour. See what happens when Sun, Moon, and Wind are guided through the night under the ever-watchful eye of their mother, Star of the North Sky.
serves as an introduction to preschoolers for more substantial information that they will be exposed to later about a culture halfway around the globe.When the monsoon rains come it's not just us mere mortals who get to join in the celebration. The heavenly bodies have a little party of their own to send the rains off into their downpour. See what happens when Moon, Wind, and Sun are sent off to a grand feast hosted by Thunder and Lightning. Northern Star guides them on their journey with one request that they must fulfill on their return. What will happen when Sun and Wind get caught up in the celebration, forgetting all about Star's special request? Brilliantly illustrated by Jayme E Robinson, this stunning tale will sail you through the cosmos with an imaginative style that jumps off of the page.
Hathi & Chiti is a new publisher of books for children - be sure to check out their website for some real fun - and this is their first offering. I love the copy they sent me and so am glad to offer you the chance to win one for your family.
Please leave a comment and I will draw a winner 12/1.

...looks like an imaginative & adventurous story! (I like the "ever-watchful eye of their mother"... so that way the little guy won't be frightened by the weather! ;)...
