Illustrated by
Paola Zakimi.
A little girl heads outside on a windy day with her yellow raincoat, umbrella, and lamb-like little dog. After waiting out a rain shower in a treehouse, she floats her open umbrella in a puddle, and then sets up a pretend tea party in a sandbox. This quiet picture book, with its spare, whimsical text and illustrations in muted colors, celebrates the joys of old-fashioned playtime.
