James V. Dwalu has written some delightful poems, rhymes, and even a riddle, all focused on rain, water, rainbows, and fun. Regis F. Muhirwa has illustrated Rainy Season Rhymes beautifully, creating a story of two African siblings and their Mama experiencing a rainy season day.
Parents, teachers, and advocates for people living with albinism will find several great topics to discuss with kids: weather, the importance of water, taking care of yourself, and playing and living in harmony despite differences. Young learners will love hearing the short, catchy poems, or reading them aloud.
“James Dwalu transforms what is usually considered a dreary period of the year in most tropical countries into snippets of magical moments and bliss.”
There are so many people
Around us each day
Whose job is to help us
At work and at play
