A deer tells a squirrel about snow, "White and wet and cold and soft." The squirrel decides to stay awake this winter and see the snow. The squirrel's attempts to stay awake (vigorous exercise, singing sea shanties) wake up a hedgehog and a squirrel, who also want to see this magical substance. The pictures, the many wordless pages, and the wonder of seeing snow for the first time will charm anyone who reads this book.

Lila lives in the middle of the Kenyan desert where it hasn't rained for a very long time! One night Lila's grandfather tells her the secret to making rain: climb to the top of the highest peak and tell the sky the saddest thing you know. Lila decides to climb to the top of the mountain to talk to the sky herself! A beautiful story with warm illustrations.

The rain is to blame for the chaos at the beginning of the book. The chicken squawks which leads to the cat yowling which leads to the dog barking and on it goes, cause and effect running rampant UNTIL the rain stops and eases the tensions. All becomes unraveled as the rain stops and the rainbow appears. This is a fun and silly story.

A brother and sister put on their rain boots and head outside after a night of thunder and lightning to experience the magical morning. They're told to watch out for puddles. Yeah, right, that's going to happen. This is a fun, splashy book.

Do you know how to do the snow day dance? Once it starts snowing, if you make paper snowflakes in school with your favorite teacher and you wear your pajamas backward and do a special dance that night, the snow might pile up and up and up, and you just may get a free day off from school. There is also an explanation at the back of the book that tells you how snow and snowflakes are formed.
