Art exhibitions reflect the intersection of local and global cultures and ongoing historical narratives.
Birds sing in the trees, monkeys swing from branch to branch, snakes slither below, and a hummingbird has just built her nest when, all of a sudden, fire breaks out. The Littlest Drop is Sascha Alper's debut children's book, based on a parable from the Indigenous Quechua people of South America. In Alper's adaptation, all of the animals flee to the river - except the hummingbird, who goes to get one little drop of water, because that's all she can carry.
