A Place for Rain

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Blanca Gómez . During a downpour, the rain “stirs up oil / and grime / and mud. / ...Where do you suppose / all that mucky runoff goes?” This book embraces rainy days and an optimistic outlook about conserving water. Subtly textured illustrations made of crisp shapes demonstrate how a classroom makes a rain garden to utilize runoff; back matter includes detailed information on how readers can build their own.
