Illustrated by
G. Brian Karas.
Bluemle uses rhymes and rhythms to convey sudden changes in weather: "Sky grumbles. / Rain tumbles..." Collage illustrations show city-dwellers of all ethnicities, ages, and sizes hustling down to the subway to wait out the storm. Karas's pictures combine painting, drawing, and photographs to show the grit, energy, and beauty of the urban scene and its amusingly quirky people.
