Books with title The Rhythm of the Rain

A breathtaking picture book about the water cycle from Kate Greenaway Medal winner Grahame Baker-SmithIssac plays in his favorite pool on the mountainside. As rain starts to fall, he empties his little jar of water into the pool and races the sparkling streams as they tumble over waterfalls, rush through swollen rivers, and burst out into the vast open sea. Where will my little jar of water go now? Issac wonders. From the tiniest raindrop to the deepest ocean, this breathtaking celebration of the water cycle captures the remarkable movement of water across the earth in all its majesty.

This delightful collection of poems for children has a wide range of subjects. The first poem, "The Word Wizard", tells us all to put our wizard hats on, catch the spinning words, and write them down. Thus, the young listeners are involved from the outset. Some poems could be sung or even danced! The second poem, "Sunrise", could inspire a painting. These poems, which include the natural world, ancient tales of adventure, and nonsense-type poems, will all stretch the imaginations of their young listeners, their parents, and teachers. "Talking with Dancing Hands" is especially poignant. There is something for everyone here, and this fun, uplifting, and heartfelt collection is greatly to be recommended.
