Sunnyrain sparkling showers

Water for our trees and flowers

For preschoolers, rainy weather is full of possibility. A puddle in the backyard is just waiting for a stomp in rubber rain boots. A light drizzle is perfect for a search-and-rescue mission for worms and snails. And watching a heavy rainfall makes sitting inside with a warm bowl of soup all the cosier.

In Rainy Days, author Deborah Kerbel once again captures the magic of early childhood awe and wonder with rhyming couplets that celebrate every kind of rainy-day activity. Illustrator Miki Sato's unique tactile collage art nearly rises from the page with fascinating features made from paper, felt, and embroidery silk.

A final page includes enriching STEM activities for inquisitive little ones. Rainy Days is the fourth book in the Weather Days collection that includes the critically-acclaimed titles Snow Days, Sunny Days, and Windy Days.
