Then it Rained is a triumphant story of one child’s determination to challenge conventional wisdom, make his voice heard and live his life to the fullest - whatever the weather!
James finds his frustration mounting as time and again his plans are called off because of the rain. Finally pushed to the breaking point, he makes his voice heard:
“I was four and then five, pretty soon I’ll be seven.
I’m NOT staying inside until I’m eleven!”
It's the perfect reminder for everyone that sometimes in life, you just have to put your gumboots on and jump in with both feet!
