Storyteller Chitra Soundar has adapted this flood story from one told in Kerala in southern India.
Pattan and his wife Kanni grow food which they share with all living creatures. An ailing plant that he nurtures becomes a huge and splendid pumpkin which provides rescue and shelter when dark clouds gather and a flood threatens human, animal and plant life. Frané Lessac’s vibrant illustrations in a naïve art style complement this story relating to a seemingly simple lifestyle which has global as well as local implications.
Pattan has an amazing pumpkin... it grows BIGGER than the goats, BIGGER than the elephants, until it is as TALL as the mountains. But can Pattan's pumpkin save his family and all the animals when the storm-clouds burst and the waters rise?
