«Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain» is the illustrated children's story by Verna Aardema, published by Pan Macmillan in paperback (32 pages, in English).
Traditional Nandi tale from Kenya in cumulative rhyme: the Kapiti Plain is dry for lack of rain and the young herdsman Ki-pat devises a way to end the drought. The text plays with repetition and rhythm, and the images show the African savanna and its animals.
The illustrations are by Beatriz Vidal. The work originally appeared in 1981 under the title 'Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain: A Nandi Tale'; this 1986 edition is part of the Picturemacs series.
For early readers and for reading aloud, given its rhyming and cumulative rhythm.
