Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur When rain comes to the parched African savannah, the animals use all their senses to track the storm. The porcupine smells rain in the air. The zebra sees lightning. The baboons hear thunder. The rhino feels the first drops. And the lion tastes the cool water. For a time, the grasslands abound with new green leaves, juicy fruits and fresh pools of water. But soon the hot sun dries out the land, and the animals must again wait for the next big rain. Manya Stojic's picture book debut is as satisfying and refreshing as the rain she describes. With paintings that are exuberant and saturated with colour and simple text that rolls off the tongue with pleasure and ease, here is a book parents and teachers will enjoy sharing again and again. Revue de presse '***** A most impressive debut.' --Books for Keeps 'A vibrant picture book, Rain is a real eye-catcher, a comely picture book that heralds an auspicious beginning for a newcomer.' --The New York Times 'A stunningly bold book whose colours convey heat and dust.' --Nursery World Biographie de l'auteur Yugoslavian-born author and illustrator Manya Stojic has a wonderful way of creating simple texts and then enrichen them with her brightly coloured illustrations. Rain is her first book. Manya lives in North London with her husband, author Ken Wilson-Max.
