“NOMVULA” The Girl of the Rain, speaks to an audience of very young children, entertaining them whilst focusing on age appropriate educational themes: the relationship between humans and nature.
“NOMVULA” The Girl of the Rain is specifically aimed at 4 – 9 year old children. It tells the story of a young girl who loves water, and how actions by humans cause clouds to be grumpy, the earth to cry and the wind to stop talking. In essence it is about respect and taking care of nature.
