From the Caldecott Award-winning illustrator of Last Stop on Market Street, this bilingual board book is the perfect story for a trip, rain or shine!
On a rainy day, a city comes to life as a boy in a green frog cap happily splashes through puddles while an old man curses the puddles. Can the boy's happiness turn the grouch's frown into a smile? With wonderful cut-paper illustrations and bold colors, this bilingual board book with a diverse cast of characters is an extraordinarily simple yet sophisticated journey from sadness and melancholy to happiness and joy.
