The Rhythm of the Rain by Grahame Baker-Smith | Goodreads

A picture book that is educational, relaxing, and absolutely gorgeous? I am totally here for it! Also, since it has been 30°C degrees here (86°F), I have been longing for it to rain, who would have thought I would ever say that? Your class will discover the process and the stages of evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. I think it is fantastic that you can enjoy reading this story just before bedtime, because of its astonishing artwork and poetic sentences. At the same time, this picture book is perfect to teach about the water cycle, both in the classroom or when homeschooling.

This book is about the journey that water goes on. This would be an interesting text to use when teaching the water cycle or when discussing the needs of animals. The Rhythm of the Rain is poetically written, yet it’s very clear and concise so I think children of all ages will understand the themes here, and with discussion it would be perfect for use in schools. It’s gentle and rhythmic and very easy to read out loud. This book could be used at the beginning of an infant science topic about the water cycle, where children could be encouraged to produce a story map of the water’s journey through the book. This could act as a springboard from which to learn more about the water cycle through an experiment (the ‘cloud in a jar’ experiment springs to mind). And, in a country far away, the mist that has evaporated from the sea turns into rain and provides water for a thirsty girl to drink.

The real triumph of this book is in the almost otherworldly scenes depicted in its illustrations' - Just Imagine Centre
