Willow Takes on the Weather

Sporting her sunglasses, sunscreen, and swimsuit, little Willow has big plans for a bright, beautiful day. She's ready to dance, splash, fly, and have great fun in the sun!

But Weather has plans of its own. Personified as larger-than-life characters, a storm rolls in: Wind howls, Dark Clouds blow in, and Rain falls.

Wearing her cloudiest attitude, Willow tries, with a shout, a mighty breath, and a strong arm, to show Weather who's boss. Shown in dramatic colourful washes vividly depicting both the depths of Willow's determination and the resilience of Weather, Willow's efforts are mighty. But ultimately, there's no changing Weather's plans—not even for a strong little one like Willow.

Just when Willow thinks her fun is rained out, a surprise is in store. Nudge, Tap-tap, Drippity drop. Far from fair-weather friends, Wind, Dark Clouds, and Rain are ready to play. But can fearless, determined Willow banish her stormy attitude long enough to accept changed plans, new friends, and a fresh way to play?

Readers will want to grab their jacket and rain boots and splash into Willow's playful, imaginative adventure, which proves that even stormy days are brimming with so many fun possibilities.
