Created with beautiful, poetic language, Come On, Rain! Really lets you experience the anticipation of waiting for the rain on a smoldering summer day. Tessie and her mama have been without rain in the heat for three weeks. Tessie wants to put her suit on, but her mom won't let her. Tessie smells rain and she runs to her friends house and tells her to put her suit on. They get their suits and run out waiting for the rain. It comes. The grown-ups come out to tell them to get quiet and the rain soothes them, so they play in the street as well. Everything becomes new. The combination of illustrations and poetic language make this an unforgettable story.
