Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This fancifully illustrated multicultural children's book tells a famous Chinese myth about a young boy's quest to save his village.
Long ago, in a remote village in China, there lived a kind and generous little boy. He spent his days in the forest, collecting wood to trade for food. One day, the boy made a wondrous discovery: a magic stone that caused his money jar and rice crocks to overflow, both of which he shared with the poor villagers.
But strange things began to happen. It no longer rained. The crops died. The rivers dried up. A terrible drought had struck and would not release its grip. The brave young boy, full of dreams of a white, water-spewing Dragon, took his magic stone on a journey--and discovered how to save his village.
A little boy, Ah Bao sets off in search of the Water Dragon, to save his village from a mysterious drought.
