(3) K-3 "I hate rainy days" declares a grumpy boy. "Do you want to draw?" asks his mom; "Okay. I'll draw by myself then," she says. A mother turns a boring rainy afternoon into an exciting one with crayon-drawn (and, eventually, real) puddle-splashing. In this meta making-the-best-of-it story, Yum draws readers in by turning the family's art project into the story. Childlike illustrations pop against stark white backgrounds.
