In the village of Shaktipur wells are drying up and crops are failing. The Chelo children, Sunita and Rakesh, go to the river every day with Mango the elephant so Grandma can water her garden with help from Jalebi the monkey. It's a climate crisis, and a greedy land developer is circling like a vulture to buy up farms at bargain prices. The children discover ways to harvest rainwater. But can they save the whole village against all odds? This book is part of a new series that introduces important environmental issues to young readers, such as water pollution; conservation of endangered species; the pet trade and animal poaching; and the harmful impact of pesticides on wildlife and humans.
