Willow Takes on the Weather

“Readers with a taste for solitary play who identify with characters such as Peter in Ezra Jack Keats’ Snowy Day will enjoy this summery alternative.” –Kirkus Reviews

“A little girl pits herself against the forces of nature and learns that acceptance and compromise can mean success in this charming, funny picture book.” –Booklist

“Willow’s attitude shift to make the most of an unwanted change sets a good example for kids to follow. This picture book would work well warming up a storytime or classroom crew to a lesson about the weather; it’s also worth keeping on hand to pull out as a mood booster for a group of kids stuck inside on a rainy day.” –BCCB
