Synopsis

As a storm rumbles and flashes, something wonderful happens up in the clouds: a raindrop begins his journey to earth, thrilled and delighted to be flying. But when flying begins to feel like falling, the raindrop can’t enjoy himself for fear that a big change is coming.
 
After hitting a campfire on the ground, the raindrop begins his journey back to the clouds as a wisp of steam. Readers will cheer for the little raindrop, experiencing his joys as well as his worries. This simple story uses spare text and art to explain the science of the water cycle, while happily showing that good things can result from change.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

NEIL JOHNSON is a director for an international advertising firm in Singapore. About The Falling Raindrop Neil says, “My son was petrified of lightning, thunder, and rain. One afternoon, standing at the window while it poured outside, he asked me if the raindrops were scared, too. The answer became this story.”
 
JOEL CHIN is an art director for the same advertising firm. He and Neil worked on this book while putting in long hours “bouncing” ad campaign ideas. Growing up in tropical Asia has allowed Joel to experience rain showers almost daily. He says that the raindrop “shows how one should live life to the fullest, a simple metaphor for life.”

It was a stormy day.
 
Dark clouds gathered.
 
The wind howled.
Lightning flashed.
 
And thunder boomed.
As the storm rumbled and shook, something wonderful happened in the clouds:
a raindrop was born.
 
With a little gasp and a big smile, the raindrop began to fall.
“I’m alive!” he shouted.
He felt like he was flying as he whizzed down through the clouds.
