FALL 2018 PICTURE BOOKS Eating Grass Sami Said & Sven Nordqvist FALL 2018 PICTURE BOOKS Eating Grass Sami Said & Sven Nordqvist “Don’t be long, come back right away,” mom says, before I walk to the well. Parents really know how to worry. “Relax” I answer, “I'm your daughter Imani Lillian Mau and I can do almost anything. Climb up to the top of a tree, count to a hundred and one, and even get water from the other side of the mountain.” “What happened to the water,” asks mom looking down into the empty bucket. When the corn plants on the fields are thirsty, they become the color of the sand. Their song turns into cries. They stretch their leaves towards the sky and slowly tremble together at the same pace. Just like us.
