In this beautiful picture book, the wondrous merges with the
ordinary when it starts to rain ... inside the house! One day, it
starts to rain in Pauline and Louis's house. The whole family looks
for the source of the rain, but nothing can be found! Dad tries to
mop up the puddles that form on the floor, Mom holds an umbrella
over her head to read, and Pauline and Louis wear their raincoats.
Everyone tries to pretend that nothing is wrong. Pauline and Louis
are embarrassed and try to keep their rainy house a secret from the
other kids at school, expecting to be teased. What would happen if
someone found out? Outside, the sun is shining. But inside the
house, something new is happening. Plants sprout from the carpet,
the bathtub and the kitchen sink. A giant tree spreads its branches
through the living room. The neighborhood children, curious about
the leaves they see through the windows, come inside. Instead of
teasing, they want to play. Pauline and Louis aren't alone with
their secret any longer. In fact, having a tree in the house is
kind of fun! Soon, the branches grow too big for the house, and
sunlight streams in through holes in the roof. There's something
else, new, too -- the rain has finally stopped. A story about
embracing difference, celebrating the wondrous and expecting the
best from our friends. This nuanced and layered story will have
both very young and school-aged children requesting repeated
readings. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English
Language Arts: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3 Describe how characters in
a story respond to major events and challenges.
