In Lumberville, the heat is relentless. Officer McGinnis takes refuge in a cold bath, while Lottie Mims tackles chores in her swimsuit. Abigail and Ralphie Blue try selling ice cubes, but the town's only hope lies by the river. As temperatures soar, quirky characters unite in a quest for cool relief. Will the river offer the respite they desperately need, or will the heatwave continue to test their creativity and resolve? Dive into this playful tale of community and resilience under the blazing sun.
From the publisher
The mercury is climbing in Lumberville, and the folks are doing everything they can to keep cool. Officer McGinnis spends the day in a cold bath, Lottie Mims does her housework in her bathing suit, and Abigail and Ralphie Blue sell ice cubes. When the temperature refuses to relent, the entire community seeks solace by the river–where everyone dreams of cool relief. A cast of quirky characters and lots of playful details from two celebrated picture-book talents make this heat wave look like fun!
