Translated by Nolitha Bikitsha and Thandabantu Magengelele, it is copyrighted by the African Storybook Initiative and the Molteno Institute in 2014. The story emphasizes the scarcity of water and the importance of conserving it, even when one desires to play in it or drink cold water due to hot weather. It narrates how rain, initially desired for play and coolness, brings sustenance to plants and fills containers, but then continues, again preventing play. The narrative contrasts a child's desire to play with water with the adult's understanding of its preciousness, highlighting the cycles of weather and their impact on daily life and activities, particularly for children. The story is part of the African Storybook Initiative and allows for commercial use, adaptation, and distribution as long as the copyright and credits are maintained.","Rain for Nomvula  \nWriter: Letta Machoga Illustration: Marleen Visser Translated By: Nolitha Bikitsha and Thandabantu Magengelele  \nEnglish Story Book  \nRain for Nomvula  \nWriter: Letta Machoga  \nIllustration: Marleen Visser  \nTranslated By: Nolitha Bikitsha and Thandabantu Magengelele  \nEnglish  \nRain for Nomvula  \nWriter: Letta Machoga  \nIllustration: Marleen Visser  \nTranslated By: Nolitha Bikitsha and Thandabantu Magengelele  \nCopyright © 2014, African Storybook Initiative and Molteno Institute  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.
