Puddle

Hyewon Yum

One rainy day, a little boy is upset because he can't go out and play. His mom comes up with a way to keep him entertained--by drawing a picture of herself and him going outside, playing in the rain, and splashing in a giant puddle. They have so much fun drawing themselves that they decide to venture out and make the most of the rainy weather.

Praise for this book

Puddle:

"Yum deftly ties moods, weather, parenting, and the power of art together." --Kirkus Reviews

"It's just a picture," mother and son tell one another at various points, but Yum's (This Is Our House) renderings--done in a rough, childlike style that fits the story to a T--and all-dialogue text prove that there's powerful magic in every act of representation, no matter how novice the artist." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
