Summary
As a great wall of dust moves across their drought-stricken farm, a family's distress is relieved by a young man called Drylongso, who literally blows into their lives with the storm
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Lindy and her family are suffering through a long drought. Then the mystical Drylongso teaches them the secrets of finding water hidden in the earth. ÂDrylongso is a hypnotic, joyful story from a distinguished writer--one that, with the help of Jerry Pinkneyâs beautiful watercolor and pastel pictures, depicts well the dry land, the swirling wind and earth, and an African-American family planting in hope with the help of a wondrous, dusty, divining stickfella.â--The New York Times Book Review
