Rain Dances is a delightful and lively look at the water cycle as it moves around the world, showing the ever-changing nature of water and the importance of water to all life. Rain Dances is a great read-aloud book for families with young children, and it's a fun book for older readers as well. Water is shown constantly moving ("dancing") in various forms (oceans, rivers, clouds, storms) and through all living things (people, animals, trees, plants, flowers, food). Rain Dances is an appreciation of water, nature, and natural cycles, filled with eye-popping full-color watercolor-style illustrations. The text is lyrical and fun to read, rich in rhymes and expansive vocabulary. Adults and children of all ages and will enjoy dancing around the natural world with the rain to see how water unites everyone and everything
