A Reader's Favorite 5 Star Award Winner
Rae's Rainy Day is an upbeat children's book about embracing the
bad days and understanding that these are part of life. I particularly
loved the message of the story that we all have bad days and that
it's okay to have them. The illustrations by artist Jesi Yap were very
charming and really suited the story well. Author team Julie
Awerkamp and Holly Andreason do a marvelous job of sending a
deep and powerful message in a way that is accessible to children
through their use of language and dialogue. The characters were
well thought out, and I thought it was a nice touch that the sun and
the clouds were the main characters. The conversations between
Gust and Rae are delightful and engaging and added to the charm
of the story. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to
children who enjoy beautifully illustrated books and those wanting a
moving and uplifting story. - K.C. Finn for Reader's Favorite.
