“Building together is much more fun!”

Rainy day fun means splashes and sailing for Levi and his toy boat. Polly prefers stomping and guarding the river: no boats allowed! But rainy days don’t last forever, and as water begins flowing into the gutter, can these two work together to preserve the fun for the both of them?

After the Rain is a fresh and fun new look at rainy days, with a reminder that playtime is better when shared together. Rebecca and Simone combine rhymes and action words into the nostalgic images of flowing water and falling rain, whisking the reader into the fun.

The language in this book is simple and quick-paced, perfect for storytelling with younger kids. There are plenty of verbs and fun, descriptive rain vocabulary words for toddlers. With its bright colors and animated characters, After the Rain is the kind of book to pull out again and again in celebration of rainy days.
