Award-winning author and illustrator James Rumford taught school with his wife, Carol, in Chad. One day, in the middle of the rainy season, they came upon the mud ruins of the town's primary school. Many years later, the memory of that school and the desire of Chadians to get an education no matter the obstacles gave birth to Rain School. Sidney Lippman says, "Making an illustrated children's book out of the song is such a natural idea that I'm amazed the process wasn't reversed--that the children's book didn't come first, followed by the song. " Martha Alexander says, "I've never had so much fun illustrating a book. My editor and art director said, 'No limits--do it the way you want. ' That really freed me. I especially loved putting the baby animals in the pictures. "
