Welcome to the world of rain, summer storms, thunders, and typhoons! This is the story of four little rains—Thundery, Dropetty, Roy, and Tormenta—who embark on a series of rainy missions. Each day, they learn a curious new fact about the weather, the Earth, and its inhabitants.
These lessons seem incredible to them at first. How can they be sure any of it is true? Guided by their curious noses, they encounter new, unknown creatures, plants, and places, witnessing firsthand the impact of weather on Earth. The characters must rely on each other to navigate the weather related troubles they find themselves in. Along the way, they come to appreciate and embrace each other’s differences and learn how to pour, create puddles, paint with rainbows, write their names with lightning, and the sheer joy of being a rain!
