MY RAINY DAY (HB)

In her third story for young readers, Joanne Liu once again shows the world through a child’s eyes. The silent book follows Max, the little boy from her previous books, who is navigating the city on a stormy afternoon. On his way to meet his father, he rides past a park, a football field, and a fruit stand, each transformed by the downpour. A tumble in the street nearly interrupts his journey, but nothing can dampen his determination—or the quiet companionship of the snail that shadows him on every page.
