Listen to the Rain

Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault evoke the beauty and the mystery, and the sounds and the silences — of rain.

Listen to the rain,

the whisper of the rain,

the slow soft sprinkle,

the drip-drop tinkle,

the first wet whisper of the rain.

Their marvelous ear for the melodies and rhythm of language, combined with James Endicott's spare, almost abstract paintings, have created a lyrical book with a haunting power — perfect for reading aloud on a rainy day.
