About Sun Shower

What would happen if Sun and Rain became friends? A delightful modern myth of how rainbows happen by award-winning author Melinda Szymanik.

The Clouds think Sun and Rain would get along well, but Rain thinks Sun doesn’t want to know her as Sun always vanishes when she turns up. Likewise, Sun feels that Rain stays away when Sun’s around. However, the Clouds think they’d be a good match and scheme a meeting, resulting in the most beautiful union … a rainbow!

Melinda Szymanik’s lyrical text is a pleasure to read aloud and listen to, and children will love Isobel Joy Te Aho-White’s beautiful watercolour-style illustrations, which are bursting with detail in the land below for them to pore over.

Also available in a te reo Māori edition, He Tārū Kahika.
