If one of your favorite rainy day activities with your kids is reading, I recommend One Rainy Day for your next rainy day’s reading time. 

The cushioned cover is perfect for little hands, and the beautiful touch-and-feel, embossed illustrations are a bonus for young children. The story is adventurous and heartwarming with a strong message—helping others through an ordeal not only makes you feel good but makes others grateful and happy.
