Race of the Rivers
Ka Iew and Ka Ngot love to play on the hilltop. One day, the adventurous Ka Iew looks at the sun shining down on the distant, sun-drenched plains and challenges her quiet sister to a race. In a flash, Ka Iew becomes a river, ready to rush downhill, and Ka Ngot has no choice but to join her… Who will reach first?
This well known Khasi folktale is brought to life by a writer and an artist, both intimately connected to and inspired by Meghalaya’s varied, lush landscape. The evocative text delights in detail, while luminous illustrations flow alongside, taking the reader on a mood-filled journey from the hills to the plains.
