The Rain Flower is an adventure story about the journey of the night creatures and the day creatures to find a rain flower that will benefit them all. Their journey is one of learning: how to unite, seek advice, give opinion and work together — and their discovery is unexpected. By story’s end, readers can embark on their own journey to discover a rain flower.

The night creatures: possum, wombat, bandicoot, curlew and owl; and the day creatures: kangaroo, cockatoo, emu, echidna, pelican and goanna; all live happily together in a beautiful valley of sweet grass and cool water.

But one spring, the rain didn’t come, and the waterhole dried up.

This is a delightful story of the bush creatures’ search for the rain flower to bring the rain, and fill the rivers and waterhole.
