The author and illustrator capture the rhythms of the desert and the spirit of the Tohono O'odham people in a poem designed for choral reading.
In the Sonoran Desert, where the Tohono O'oodham or Desert People live, water is life, and the most important ceremonies are those that bring rain. Written for choral recitation, this book presents the wine-making ceremony of the Tohono O'oodham, with parts for a narrator, clouds, saguaro, flowers, women, grandparents, medicine man, and headman. Chiago's illustrations are alive with intricate details of cactus and lightning, and the ephemeral washes of desert country. Although not all readers will be equally as ease with the rhyming verse, this is a rare portrayal of a little known traditional observance of the rhythms of the natural world.

Sing down the Rain
While in the Sonoran Desert, I came across this book. What a feast for the eyes and what a rhythmic way to tell about one tradition found in the Tohono O'Odham Indian community.
