«L'Agni i la pluja» is the children's story by Dora Sales Salvador, published by Kalandraka in hardback (128 pages, in Catalan).
Agni, a ten-year-old boy who works in a laundry in Bombay, does not quite understand what it means to be poor, although he knows that his family and neighbours are. While he rubs clothes without rest, he dreams that his luck will change. The narrative contrasts those who, on returning home, turn on the tap with those who must share out the water from buckets at public fountains.
Illustrated by Enrique Flores and translated into Catalan by Joan Pau Hernàndez de Fuenmayor. It is part of the Set llengües collection, number 7, and contains 12 illustrations.
Recommended for children aged 6 to 7, it is suitable reading for reflecting on poverty and daily life in Bombay.
