Big Fella Rain is a celebration of northern Australia as animals, birds, trees and a parched earth await the first rain.
It is almost as if the country stands still, as the sparse yet evocative text pays homage to the transition from dry season to wet season in a landscape like no other in the world.
Fern Martins’ illustrations seamlessly portray the dramatic skies, the thirsty animals and the tiny creatures whose very existence depends on the coming monsoonal rains. Her rendering of the big landscape and its subtle environmental changes gives this book a timeless quality that resonates with readers of all ages.
