As one dry day follows another in the Australian outback, everyone and everything is waiting for the rain, which seems as though it will never come. Rosieâ€™s kids, the panting dogs, the fat green frogs, and Old Stephen all do what they can to keep cool as they watch for storm clouds on the horizon. Stunningly beautiful full-color artwork and spare text evoke the long wait during the dry season, and the jubilant relief when the long-promised rain finally arrives. Any child can identify with the theme of how hard it is to wait for something you want, and the outsize, brilliantly colored, stylized illustrationsâ€”which feature imagery from Aboriginal mythologyâ€”make this an especially striking picture book that will captivate and delight young readers.
