In the tropical north of Australia, magpie geese gather around a billabong. The land is dusty, the rivers have shrunk and the dry months drag on. Then, at last, the clouds begin to gather, the skies darken and the jagged fingers of lightning appear. Thunder cracks and booms, and the much-needed downpours begin. Now the dry creeks have become rushing torrents.
With beautiful text and stunning illustrations, Tricia Oktober once again offers a lyrical, eye-opening account of Australian animal and plant life, for children of all ages.
