A young boy celebrates a refreshing storm in this joyous picture book about experiencing with all your senses a cloudburst of rain on a hot summer day
A boy looks up at the sky and smells the air as the first raindrops hit the ground. He listens as it begins to pour, observing all the symphony of sound this welcome downpour makes.
He feels the water droplets on his skin and sees little rivulets of water on the sidewalk. “Badadada”: he hears as the rain hits his yellow umbrella, “Ker-sploosh” as he jumps in a puddle.
This boy uses all his senses to experience a refreshing summer storm. Koshiro Hata’s illustrations revel in the joy of nature in Yuko Ohnari’s new book featuring expressive onomatopoeia to sound out and enjoy. You’ll definitely want to play outside the next time it rains.
Perfect for units on weather and senses―but also just a sweet and happy picture book to enjoy together.
