Dancing with the Rain (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781959707240)

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 will surely 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 / writer 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. A great book for K-Grade 5 and elementary 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 with 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.
