The illustrations are beautiful. It’s a calming book where you are able to follow the journey of water. The main character pours water from a bottle into a stream and we go on a journey with the water from a little stream, to the ocean, to the clouds, to the ground. A great book to learn about the water cycle. Grahame Baker-Smith is a huge talent in picture book illustration, and his images of the natural world here are deep, vibrant and painterly, which will absorb slightly older picture book readers in their watery depths.' - Book Trust

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. Isaac is playing in the pool on the side of his mountain. He empties his jar of water into the pool that flows into a stream down the side of the mountain as the rain falls. Isaac follows the flow of the water down a waterfall, into a river that flows across the country, through the city, into the ocean, across the world, into mist, forming as clouds and comind down as rain again. The real triumph of this book is in the almost otherworldly scenes depicted in its illustrations' - Just Imagine Centre Izak speelt graag bij de waterplas bij zijn favoriete berg. Tijdens het spelen begint het te regenen, hij giet een glazen pot gevuld met een visje en water leeg in de waterplas en probeert de weg van het water te volgen. Door de bergstroompjes naar beneden. Daar waar de stroom verandert in een waterval en als rivier verder stroomt naar beneden, door het landschap. Steeds verder en verder, tot het zijn weg vindt naar de oceaan. Naar donkere dieptes en verre landen. Tot het uiteindelijk verdampt, opgaat in wolken en het zijn weg naar Izak weer terugvindt. This KS1 resource is based on the popular book The Rhythm of the Rain, which is best suited for the water topic.In this activity we cover phonics phases 3-6 and your class must locate the words with the particular sounds within them.

From tiniest raindrop to deepest ocean, this breathtaking celebration of the water cycle captures the remarkable movement of water across the earth in all its majesty. A stunning new non-fiction picture book from Greenaway medal-winner, Grahame Baker-Smith. About This Edition ISBN:written by Angela McAllister. Farther, which uses photographic collage and illustration, is the first book that Grahame has written and illustrated. It won the Greenaway Medal in 2011. Constantly experimenting with different styles of illustration, Grahame likes to challenge the conventional boundaries with his artwork. It teaches children about the water cycle in a way that isn't simply spitting facts, it puts it into a real life context and how it affects different people in different locations which I found really lovely. Issac is playing in his favourite pool on the mountainside when it begins to rain. Upon emptying his little jar of water into the pool, he follows the journey of the water through streams, over waterfalls, along rivers and out into the vast open sea. Wondering where the little jar of water will go next, readers are taken on an epic journey of water. The story shows how we are all linked by water and provides a more emotional and real approach to the water cycle. I enjoyed the book very much. My favourite part of it was when he followed the river to the sea and met all the animals and discovered new parts of the world.
