Inside the book

A peek between the covers

I like the rain – 
falling, falling down in sheets
in cool, refreshing, silver streaks.
I like splattering and splashing!
I like running, leaping, laughing!
I like it, too, when storm clouds pass
and sunlight beams in through the glass.

This one has fun cadence, and while the illustrations weren't my favorite, they're cute and feature diverse characters! I would LOVE if this was a board book—that seems to be a better fit for the length and feel than a picture book.
