Raindrops are falling outside, but there’s still a world of colour to experience! Delightful rhymes and brilliant illustrations detail how a gloomy, rainy day might not actually be so gloomy after all when you get to spend time with Mum, Brown Bear, and the colours around you. And when a “beaming rainbow, bold and bright” cuts through the sky, everyone gets to experience the joy of all the colours that can only come after the rain.

Every spring buds appear on a tree's branches, and then, one by one, come the leaves. In this simple, rhyming text, we count the first ten leaves until, voila! Spring has sprung and we have a glorious canopy. When fall winds blow, we count down, as the last ten leaves fly from the tree. The charming graphic illustrations make learning to count easy, and the corresponding numerals reinforce the learning fun. There's also a world of activity to spy in and around this beautiful tree as the wild creatures, and one little boy, celebrate the changing seasons and cycles of nature.
