In this lyrical picture book, Mensa listens to the radio by the Oyoko Hill, dreaming of rain: a deluge washes away many things. The young rainmaker plans it out on paper and then looks for clues in nature. Will the skies burst open and finally end the drought?

This book is a Readerful Book for Sharing. It is for an adult to read aloud to children aged 10 to 11.

Readerful is a reading library specially designed to motivate children to read more. The series offers contemporary, inclusive books for children from 4 to 11 years, including:

Books for Sharing: picture books to be read aloud by an adult for inspiring reading sessions

Independent Library: fiction, graphic texts, character mini-series and non-fiction for children to read independently

Rise: fully decodable books for older struggling readers to read independently.

How Readerful works:
- Read aloud the Books for Sharing for magical reading sessions that motivate children to read more.
- Then encourage children to choose a book to read by themselves, from Readerful's Independent Library or from Rise. You'll find links between the books' topics, vocabulary, characters and authors - all designed to keep children reading, boost their vocabulary and develop their knowledge of the world around them.
