Dancing with the Rain, Dancing with the Rain

In the picture book "Dancing with the Rain" a young girl's imagination is ignited by her grandparent's comments about the rain. "Poppy says, "It's raining cats and dogs". Grandma says, "One day in your life it may rain frogs". The young girl (Aubree) spins into a mindful visual dance of all the imaginative possibilities of what it could rain. These numerous possibilities written in rhyme will take you along with her. The colorful illustrations and poetic verse are presented mostly in double page spreads and are most entertaining. Author / Artist Robert Carr once again uses his imagination and artistic skill to dazzle you. When you read this book, you will be left with the joy of experiencing a creative excursion into the mind of a child, the eyes of an artist, the clarity of a writer and the gift of a teacher. A great book for the home library, K-Grade 5, elementary teachers, and art teachers.The motivation for this book originated from Robert's inspiring relationship with his loving grandparents, love for his daughter Aubree and love for all children and their openness to creative thinking. The drawing of the main character (the young girl) was created by Aubree when she was five years old. Robert saved it as a treasure. Twenty years later, the drawing became the main character in this darling picture book "Dancing with the Rain". G.A.R.
