Rain Falls

Join cousins Kamali and Josiah in exploring the sensations of walking in the rain.

In Rain Falls, two young children, guided by an adult, take an autumn walk through a city neighborhood, splashing in puddles and squishing through mud. They notice how the rain changes everything around them—the ground is soaked, the leaves are soggy, and raindrops dance all around.

But rain doesn’t last forever. When the sun begins to peek out from behind the clouds, they enjoy the warmth of sunshine on their smiling faces. They discover that rain brings rainbows and makes the world sparkle and shine.

Rain Falls:

• Shows that children can connect with nature and its important lessons, no matter where they live
• Helps us notice how rain comes and goes, and how everything in nature changes
• Includes activities to help children learn more about how rain transforms their own neighborhoods

This book is part of the Outside Our Window Board Books series, which encourages children—especially those in urban environments—to explore, protect, and delight in nature. Each book in the series focuses on one feature of the natural world (such as rain), one sense (such as touch), and one communication or relationship skill (such as change and flexibility). The series emphasizes community and encourages children and families to explore the natural world around them.
