(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ann Grifalconi. On a rainfield in Africa, Wind, Fire, and Rain hold a contest to determine who is greatest. When Fire gets carried away burning things and Wind is unable to stop him, queenly Rain saves the day and proves that "the gentlest is the greatest." Against surreal backgrounds of marbled-paper-and-photo collage, Wind, Fire, and Rain are portrayed as regal Africans in this pourquoi tale.
