Pitter-patter, splutter-splatter, drizzle turns to roar. . . .
DOWNPOUR! But where do all those raindrops go? Dirty stormwater
runoff can cause big problems, polluting rivers, ponds, and
waterways. So this classroom plans and builds a rain garden,
collecting excess water in barrels, creating paths for waterflow
with stones and bricks, and planting native flowers and grasses
that help the water percolate and invite wildlife to feed and
pollinate. With Michelle Schaub’s lively, engaging storytelling,
and Blanca Gómez’s bright, beguiling illustrations, A Place for
Rain provides an upbeat and actionable approach to an important
environmental issue, and empowers readers with the tools to reduce
pollution, diminish flooding, and create a habitat for wildlife.
Informational backmatter includes instructions and resources for
readers to build their own rain garden.
