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.
Morris, Julie P.: - "Julie Morris was born in the year you need to scroll way to far back on your phone to find, in South Australia, in a pub in the Adelaide Hills, where she maintains most of her ribaldry and sarcasm was developed. As an only child she was often in her own head making up stories and plays, and things to teach her pet galah to say to unsuspecting patrons. After completing her nursing training, Julie travelled the world with a backpack. She always found that laughter was the best medicine. Especially for children. She did many other jobs such as placing coffin lids and silver servicing without a clue how to hold a plate. Julie met many characters on her travels, such as the Dali Lama, whom she fell onto at the Darwin Airport, and Borris Becker whom she nearly killed with a kite on Glenelg Beach. Julie is not shy to get up and perform on stage. She has performed in an Indie Film and done stand-up comedy. Yet stored under her bed was a "gunna" box of writings poems and songs. The lid was weighed down with dust bunnies and tied up with a big bow made of procrastination. She was gunna write a book, one day. So far, her published stories are for kids. There is a fiction adult saga in the works based on her time in the NT. Some other adult sagas more suited to the black band Mills and Boon would slap across the front page, and a recipe book in the works.Julie children's books have some moral that she heard from her own Grandparents. Or educational value done in a way to help things stick in a young your mind. Others are just cheeky and made to make kids - and you - laugh out loud."
