An exploration of life on a New Zealand farm during a long, dry spell.
Through lyrical rhyming text, readers are taken on a journey across paddocks, barns, and treetops, encountering the animals and landscapes that make up the farm's rich ecosystem.
From the circling kahu in the sky to the hardworking sheepdogs, restless horses, and a watchful rooster, each page captures the rhythms of rural life. As drought grips the land, the farm waits in anticipation-until, at last, the rain arrives, bringing renewal and relief.
