Kaliya, Serpent King Joshua M. Greene

Kaliya, king of ancient Indiaa??s serpent people, crosses the gods and must leave. He takes his serpentine wives and offspring and relocates to the pristine Yamuna River, which flows by young Krishnaa??s village of Vrindavan. The serpent kinga??s venom poisons the river. Birds fall lifeless to the ground, trees and vegetation dry up, and the lives of the villagers are in danger. Although only a child, Krishna has sworn to protect the environment and safeguard the many animals and people who depend on the river for their existence. Whether one views Krishna as a divine being or as a mischievous child, his respect for nature is exemplary.This tale from Indiaa??s ancient Sanskrit wisdom texts transcends its moment in remote history to deliver a message as relevant as todaya??s news. Artist Patrick Wirea??s luminous illustrations recall the vibrant palette of Maxfield Parrish and complement author Joshua Greenea??s lyrical retelling of this classic story.
