“Absolutely charming. A little boy and an old man are both out in the rain, but their perspectives and attitudes are markedly different. The illustrations are colorful and fun, and the story concept is inventive. This little gem of a book is a reminder that the world looks a little brighter when viewed through eyes filled with wonder.”
