Illustrated by
Jules Feiffer.
Even though it might be raining on Sadie's father's side of the car, it is not raining on her side, and therefore a trip to the zoo doesn't need to be postponed. As Dad's side gets more dismal, Sadie's fills with sunflowers. This triumph of hope over (damp) reality ends on a note of pure joy. Gentle watercolors and a dancing pencil line support the deadpan text.
