What people are saying

Praise for this book

"Grab some galoshes and raid the lost and found for umbrellas because readers will be enamored with inclement weather after reading this beautiful book. . . . The story's language and illustrations are wonderfully matched, as both capture the dual wonders on display. . . Maclear's playful use of alliteration, consonance, and onomatopoeia make this a joy to read aloud. . ."-Booklist, starred review
"Maclear (Story Boat) celebrates the unbounded joy of discovery in ordinary things, chronicling events with a poet's powers of observation. . . Digital, retro-style spreads by Turnham (National Parks of the USA) give the pages a memorable look with a palette of unexpected hues. . . . Together, the creators conjure a child who fully inhabits each present moment until the sun arrives again."-Publishers Weekly
"In text that begs to be shared aloud, evocative figurative language. . . a heaping dose of onomatopoeia. . . and delicious vocabulary. . . vividly animate the thrill of heading outside when 'the sky is an adventure.' The illustrations themselves burst with life, movement, and mirth. Cerulean (for the rain) and yellow (for raincoats) hues enchant. . . . A joyous tribute to the wonders of a rainy day for the pluviophile in all of us."-Kirkus Reviews, starred reviews
"In Hello, Rain!, Kyo Maclear (The Liszts; Bloom; Operatic) builds a delightful meditation on a theme by following a child and their dog through anticipating a storm to the sunlight at the end. . . . Illustrator Chris Turnham (The Wish Tree) carefully constructs each digitally rendered scene and plays with perspective. . . Maclear and Turnham use Hello, Rain! to magnify the magic and beauty revealed by rain and to remind readers to stop and take in the magic and brilliance all around."-Shelf Awareness, starred review
