From bestselling author-illustrator Tom Percival comes a poignant picture book that encourages us to take notice of all the wondrous little things that happen to us each day.
Daniel is having a terrible day. From the rain that tumbles down from the dark, grey skies to the puddles that soak his shoes, Daniels convinced that nothing will lift his mood. But everything changes when he hears the sweet, delicate sound of music, barely audible beneath the rain. Perhaps, if he looks carefully enough, Daniel might find that there are moments of joy and wonder that can brighten even the darkest of days . . .
Tom Percival is an author/illustrator who lives in Stroud with his family and The Best Dog in the World (apologies if you happen to think that yourdog isThe Best Dog in the World). A lot of his books explore social connections, community, equality and emotional growth, but he also makesroom to write a bit of pure escapist fun once in a while. When hes not making books he enjoys walking and running around the countryside with either his family, or The Best Dog in the World, andsometimesALL of them at once. He also makes music and enjoys taking photographs.
