In the dreamtime the rainbow shone high in the sky every day along side of the bright yellow sun. Rainbow colours painted the land with the green fields and pretty flowers and animals. The creatures on the land showed off all the beautiful rainbow colours with pride in their fur, fins and feathers. The oceans and the sky glistened. From the verdant green of the forests, to the vibrant red of the desert where creatures both big and small, wore the colours proudly, reflecting the beauty of the rainbow's gift. The plain white clouds brooded in envy. They had no pretty colours, so they huffed and puffed and conjured a mighty storm. Thunder clapped and lightning crackled. Wind blew and rain pelted. The weather had changed. The noisy, windy storm chased away the sun and the beautiful rainbow. Everything was dark and dismal. All the creatures hid. As the storm clouds rumbled slowly away, their energy spent, the sun peeked timidly from behind some lonely grumpy clouds, but where was the rainbow? Will the rainbow return and fill the sky with colour again? Through the pages of this captivating tale, children will embark on a colourful adventure, learning not only the hues of the rainbow but also the vibrant tapestry of nature. They will discover the relationship between storm clouds and the symphony of rain, thunder, and lightning, understanding the ebb and flow of the natural world. But that's not all; hidden within the pages are secrets waiting to be discovered. With each turn, children will delight in finding hidden animals camouflaged within the illustrations, adding an extra layer of joy to their journey. Join us on a whimsical voyage through the Dreamtime, where the Rainbow reigns supreme, and nature's wonders await discovery. Let your imagination soar as you learn the true colours of the world around us.
