Synopsis
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 Pinkneys 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
