A Visiting Author

Mark Laurent is a New Zealand author. He wrote this picture book called 'Rufus and the Rain'.
Brenda read us the story.









Rufus told Wind not to bring Cloud, but it wasn't long before he realised that clouds are necessary to give shade and to bring the rain.
Rufus had to say something to Wind that is sometimes hard for people to say.

Do you know what that hard word was?


What happened when Cloud wasn't there?


Mark also writes poetry and songs. He sang three songs and we got to join in. This one was about the trees.


Can you imagine living in a world with no trees? 
How would that affect us?


Here is a Youtube link to 'Rufus and the Rain' 
And another to Mark's song about Rufus
