A gentle rhyming picture book that shows how color can be found all around us, whether there are raindrops falling or a bright rainbow high above.Raindrops are falling outside, but there's still a world of color to experience!

Kirkus Book Review

A young child names colors and finds ways to pass the time before a rainy day finally becomes sunny. Children likewise stuck inside will surely empathize with the protagonist as they await the sun: "I want a calm, clear, BLUE sky day, / so I can go outside and play. / I miss the YELLOW summer sun. / I miss the laughter. Miss the fun." Gray, green, brown, white, blue and gray (both repeats), and orange each make an appearance as Mom helps the child pass the time and calms them during the thunder and lightning. Finally, the rain stops, and the duo don red rain boots and head outside, where they discover a rainbow. The child names each color, starting with violet, and then it's time to head inside for bed. The rhyming text mostly scans well, with just a few stumbles in meter. The names of each color are capitalized and printed in the appropriate hue, and the pictures will give readers clues as well; the yellow rug in front of the couch, for example, looks just like the sun. The child wears large white glasses and has long brown hair with a giant bow on the top of their head. Their skin is slightly darker than their redheaded mother's pale skin; a family portrait on the bedroom wall hints at a multiracial family. (This book was reviewed digitally with 10-by-20-inch double-page spreads viewed at 29.6% of actual size.) Practice for those who are learning colors or patience on a rainy day.
