One little raindrop falls from the sky... Follow its incredible journey until it finally reaches the sea, where it evaporates to become part of a cloud and begin the cycle all over again. Cleverly designed holes on every page encourage interaction as readers guess what is waiting overleaf. Specially written for little children, this is a perfect introduction to the wonder of the water cycle.

Nowadays, she is often found recording books, too, in Usborne's very own recording studio.
