Every time it rained, the children of Terra Vermelha would stare out of the windows of the schoolhouse and sing in unison: "It's going to rain in this place." What was at first a soothing accompaniment to the sweet, tropical rain of Brazil, became an eery foreboding of the inevitable loss of innocence. This book of poetry is a tribute to the brief, fantastic experience of escape, to the grownups who bury more than they can find, and to the children who, bless their hearts, leave no stone unturned.
