Recensioni
This book is a wonderfully portrayed fantasy. The babies in this book being so little and falling from the sky within the rain, make it impossible for the story to ever happen in real life. The characterization in the book of the parent and the babies is extraordinary.
Rating: 4This was a good story of an old couple wishing for a child. They were given a gift of a dozen tiny rainbabies. What they thought was a blessing was actually a test given to them by mother moon. It was a test to see what kind of parents these two would actually become. Mother moon also threw at them a few challenges that the old couple dealt with admirably. In the end, mother moon took back her rainbaby and blessed the old couple with a baby daughter.
This book is beautifully illustrated . The print is rather small for a young reader to read on their own but it is a perfect book to be read to the young person and for show and tell. The story itself is also a kind story that shows that not everything is as it seems, but if you keep to your core values, one comes out a winner.

"The Rainbabies" is a beautiful book with warm illustrations and an even warmer story. The author reveals to the reader the importance of love for people and responsibility over love for riches and comfort when the man and woman choose the rainbabies over a precious moon stone. The author models a pair of capable and caring parents who are able to protect their little children from "fire, water and earth". The illustrations in "The Rainbabies" tell just as much of the story as the written words do.
