Books with title Tim's Rainy Day

This is a new edition of this artist-led picture book that begins with the question 'Have you ever wondered what clouds are made of?' This title includes fabulous watercolour paintings and evocative text that lead very young children through the effects of a rainy day; from cloudy skies to the 'splish, splash, splosh' of puddles and a beautiful rainbow. It also includes a simple story for very young children filled with Sarah Gill's atmospheric illustrations of stormy skies, leaping frogs, and wispy clouds. It also describes some of the creatures who need and enjoy rainy days, such as frogs, birds, worms and snails.

This story begins as a boy named Hugo, 9 years of age looks forward to a well deserved weekend with his friends, after what seemed to be a long weekday of school. When the weekend had arrived it's a wash out. While Hugo's parents Hazel and Clifford are out running errands, Hugo is given tasks that he must accomplish during this dreaded rainy day. Listen further to see if Hugo's tasks are successful or turn out to be a flop. Will he fail to disappointment with his parents or will he learn the meaning of responsibility?

When that doesn't work out, Rina says "Gam zu l'tova again... but what good thing could possibly come from so much disappointment? Sometimes we never know why something is truly good. But Rina finds out that every event that happened on her rainy day was all part of Hashem's plan, leading to a very happy ending! Rina's Rainy Day can help children understand that "Gam zu l'tova" is more than a beautiful phrase, it's an important attitude for life.
