Chirri & Chirra, The Rainy Day tells the story of a cloudy day when Chirri and Chirra decide to venture out on their bicycles. Dring-dring, dring-dring! It's just beginning to rain.
Like all their adventures, this one unfolds in a realm of magic and wonder. In their world, through creativity or perhaps a touch of magic, they always find exactly what they need. As they pedal along, they come across a shop. What luck! The sign indicates it's only open on rainy days. How perfect.
Chirri and Chirra order tea and are each served with a bowl of sweet ice rocks. It's a shop designed for watching the rain while enjoying tea! Later, as they feel as if they're floating, they realise the rain is ascending, from below. They are sailing along on nothing less than upside-down rain. And what do they find in the upside-down rain? A joyful scene, of course.
This enchanting world is filled with harmony, peace, lightness, and discovery. It offers a vision of what life on Earth might resemble if we afforded love and respect to all humans, animals, and the natural world.
