      About This Book

      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. "Drylongso is a hypnotic, joyful story from a distinguished writer--one that, with the help of Jerry Pinkney's 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."--The New York Times Book Review
