What a significant and momentous occasion the rains are in this
important place. To be blessed with such a sense of the place, on
paper, is superb.

Stunning in every way, this book is breathtaking in its beauty and
highlights Lake Eyre before and after the rains. Text and
illustrations are perfectly blended. A visual feast, this book is a
collector’s delight.

12 Curly Questions with Pamela
*Kids' Book Review*
The combination of text and illustration give a glimpse of one of
Australia’s most amazing natural events – the appearance and
disappearance of Lake Eyre – and this book is sure to be enjoyed by
both children and adults.

Guest Post from Pamela
*Kids' Book Review*
Highly recommended. Small hints are given of man's footprint on the
land, a farmhouse and train line, a windmill and train, but the
overwhelming theme is of the natural world in all of its glory,
reviving with the intermittent rains, bringing the once dry lake
back to life, only to have it all gone with months, if not weeks.
The sheer amazement at this occurrence in the north of South
Australia is given full reign in this book, and it will appeal to
anyone opening its pages.
