I Love the Rain

32 pp. | Chronicle | April, 2005 | Trade ISBN 1-58717-208-9 $15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. The narrator says she hates rain, but after her friend describes its virtues (e.g., the street steams "like plates of fresh, hot pasta!"), the narrator is sold. The giddy story, told almost entirely in dialogue, is as much a celebration of imagination and friendship as of rain. Davenier captures the girls' exuberance with her unmistakable ink and watercolor art.
