Description
The Little Girl and the Rain is a sweet, poetic tale that brings to life the magic of a rainy day!
On a spring day with no one around to play, a little girl sets off for a walk and feels the first gentle raindrops on her face. As the rain begins to fall harder, she runs for cover, unaware that the rain is chasing after her, eager to find her. Before long, the rain finally catches up with the girl, and together they splash and play in the puddles, laughing under the gray sky. And just when the girl least expects it, a surprise awaits-one that will brighten her day in the most magical way.
With its whimsical prose and beautiful vintage illustrations, this story celebrates the wonders of nature and the unexpected joys of friendship. Perfect for reading aloud, children and parents will delight in its message of finding the beauty in every season.
