Description Manuela loves the color of her skin and sits out in the sun to watch it darken, but there is this little drop of water who is very jealous of it. This story conveys a flurry of evocative words that describe the richness and beauty we find all around us. Collages of the sea, sun, clouds, wind, and rain are accentuated with simple, poetic text and delicate drawings of plants, animals, and landscapes to create a fantastic array of images.
