Cynthia Jabar is the illustrator of a number of books for children, including Rain Song and Snow Dance. Her distinctive illustrations have been described by viewers as “vigorous,” “full of zest,” and “bright and saucy.” She divides her time between Portland, Maine, and New York City.
Evans makes a cheery picture book debut with this rhyming, rhythmic celebration of rain. Two girls are splashing in a tiny backyard pool when they notice signs of an approaching storm: "Falls a raindrop/ it goes plip plop/ coming faster/ drip drop, drip drop/ pitter pit pat/ splitter split splat/.../ safe inside, we'll watch the rain." Reminiscent of John Archambault and Bill Martin Jr.'s spirited verses, Evans's poem never falters nor loses its tone of playful insouciance. Jabar's trademark smiley-face illustrations pack plenty of action as the girls huddle inside watching the rain, then enter into the spirit of the storm by beating sandbox-bucket "drums" to the rhythm of the rain. When the danger passes, they run outside in their yellow slickers and "red galoshes/ squishy squashes." This zesty description of a romping, stomping storm will make a rainy day seem like a pleasure. Ages 4-8.
