Kira's gloomy view of rainy days transforms when her friends invite her outside. When It Rains reveals the joy hidden in every downpour.
Kira often feels a sense of gloom when the rain falls. The thought of being unable to read outside, play in the park, or wear her favorite clothes dampens her spirits. However, everything changes when her friends Ana and Ilo invite her on an unexpected adventure during a downpour. This experience opens her eyes to the beauty and excitement that rain can bring. As they venture out, Kira begins to see the world in a new light, discovering the joy of making new friends and witnessing the lively scene of umbrellas dotting the streets.
Throughout the journey, Kira experiences the thrill of lightning illuminating the sky, and she learns to appreciate the unique wonders that come with rainy days. Each moment spent outside transforms her perspective, allowing her to embrace the rain rather than fear it. The adventure teaches her that rain can be a source of warmth and connection, rather than just gloom and solitude.
In When It Rains, Rassi Narika beautifully weaves together delightful illustrations and enchanting prose to create a story of hope and discovery. This tale serves as a reminder that even the rainiest of days can lead to unexpected joy and friendship, encouraging readers to find the silver lining in every storm.
'We loved the positive and refreshing outlook on life which
this book promotes. Rain – traditionally depressing and a cause for boredom –
is presented as an opportunity – a glimpse into joyous freedom… Perfect for
reading aloud, reading in small groups and discussing different ways of looking
at things or finding an alternative point of view in circle time and PSHE.'
‘Kira discovers the joy of
all the things that happen outside when it rains from the new friends she
makes, to the umbrellas on the streets, to the thrill of lightning, and
finally, the warmth found at the end of each rainfall. Simple artwork and
joyful text combine to bring us a story of hope and discovery that will
brighten even the rainiest of days.’
