Rain
From Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant comes a vibrantly illustrated, poetic picture book tribute to the beauty and magic of a rainy day.
There is a softness and a quiet before the rain comes…
When rain is on its way, some people and animals hurry home and get cozy inside. But others stay out to soak up the glorious showers! Wet drops bounce on leaves and roofs, creeks fill up, trees take a shower, cats have a show, and everyone relishes the rain.
With lyrical words by award-winning author Cynthia Rylant and vibrant pictures by celebrated artist Lisa Congdon, this evocative picture book shows that rain is good for everyone.

Not sure where Rain came into this story. Set in Afghanistan its about a soldiers' journey through an arduous and final tour of duty. It shows the fear and the failings of an army tour in a hostile terrain. Not something I would normally read, but it gave a good insight into army life, warts and all.
